NOT EVEN DRUNK

 

not even drunk

but worrying about

sleeping well;

must be

in the process

of selling out

 

must be giving in;

faltering

off the track

 

The honesty of con men

nauseates me

though it fills me

with awe

at the audacity

 

never could hustle

always fell

short never quite

made the cut

 

just exist

in this solitude;

meaningless crock of shit

that summarily

capsizes my life

 

selling out

to the highest bidder

my soul placed

on the auction block

for any takers—

best offer wins

 

It really has

come to that

and it’s just

such a fucking shame
