This is your brain on drugs
Theres a man on a city bus holding a candy cane,
and it isnt even Christmas.
He sees a note in the obituaries that his last friend has died.
Theres an infant clinging to his overweight mother in the cold as they go to shop for cigarettes,
and she spends her last dollar on a bottle of vodka for tonight
and i guess it struck a nerve
like i had to squint my eyes
you can never get out
of the line of sight
like a barren winter day
or a patch of unburned green
like a tragic real dream
like a magic speeding clock
or a cancer in our cells
A COLLISION IN THE DARK
