Bio Note: Generally, I write poetry to try and bring light to my struggle with the awareness of my humanity and place in our world, the Universe, etc. I am interested in describing the juxtaposition of the smallness of ourselves when viewed universally and yet the large impact each of our individual actions can have.
Drugs don’t help
Drug addict. On drugs right now, in fact. If I don't have ... each day within hours of waking, my body physiologically revolts basic functions like moving a muscle become painful beyond trying. A life of sin that we accept as normal, Our collective consumer reality. Me, an addict since age 14. & I can only imagine the Hell heroin brings, if this is caffeine reality. Welcome to the daily grind. & anything & everything is a gateway drug to a brain & it’s best not to even get started. I struggle with who & when & what’s really good & right as I succumb to each human fallacy as I search for meaning &… …good times and great oldies… …a jingle of truth to the human brain… …of remembrance & a myth to be found… …cosmological kindness… …of whatever you call it… …I’ll be here now…
