Title: What''s a W?

Poem: Can’t write, Can’t think
Don’t eat, Don’t drink
Drive all night, Turn around
Wind at my back
Come home to what. A messy room
Smoke too much, too fast
Wash the nicotine out of my clothes
In the bathtub, my private Chinese laundry
Market open, Watch CNN
Trade to eke out gains
Post to a website all day and night
Thirsty venture out to the familiar corner store
Buy two bottles of root beer, and a box of frozen pizza
In the fridge chicken
taken from the freezer three days ago rots
Don’t shower, Don’t brush my teeth
Take time off work, call it a vacation
Complete with a made up destination
Want to get in the car and drive nowhere again
but the oil is shot
Ya know life is hell sometimes
Ya know life is heaven sometimes
But all the time I wish
I wish life wasn’t a W
