5 in the morning,
drunk and tired,
out of beer,
watching late-night TV
where bad acting
is a prerequisite,
religion ruling the airwaves,
assholes richer than I
telling me they have a
cross to bare,
well, I carry a cross
only getting heavier…
rhetorical politicians,
complacent friends,
smaller paychecks,
higher taxes,
louder neighbours
having a better time
than me…..
rampant jealousy….
I piss into the sink…
talk to the Mirror….
dream about fish.
