Family of cockroaches

Folder: 
NO EYELIDS

 

Another evening stretches out

Upon the BrokeDown's

Massive shattered machines

And poor starving heartbeats

Like an unwashed bedsheet.

The stars are murky-looking,

The sky more like a swamp-

Squinting for feeblest flickers

Beyond the sallow smut.

I like to think I am a thinker;

I like to kick back and smoke

In my sweaty leather chair

With a family of cockroaches

Tickling about thru my hair.

Minus that family of roaches

Minus that family of roaches in the hair, shivers! But true, the success of a poem before 10P.M. is indeed a good thing!
