NaPoWriMo day 3

All right.  I lied.  I'm going to put this up here.


Sometime between her left hand on my thigh and her right hand on the girl’s breast
I realized it’s hopeless.
We are freaks.
We are masochists on Mondays
Transformational on Tuesdays
And just…weird on Wednesday.
The day-by-day tick of our mortal clock
The resounding sounding of our lives counting down
We do anything to drown it out.

We listen to Justin Beiber.
Pay people to get on stage and talk about their feelings.
Turn the volume up on our impulses
And go to bed with people whose names we don’t know.

We make mistakes with the regularity of insanity
Doing the same thing expecting a different result
Because hitting the ground hurts
But falling feels so good.

We can’t just have a burger
We need it double, with cheese, extra bacon.
We can’t just have our portion
We need it super-sized.
We can’t just walk
We need to drive
We can’t just drive
We need to fly
Rage against the atmosphere
And stick flags into the moon.

After all.
Survival was never enough.
We made guns and bombs
With nations to use them
And signs to protest.
We made condoms so we can fuck more
And churches so we feel bad about it,
Installed God all-powerful
And bit-by-bit are taking his job.

We freaks march to no certain beat
Walk the knife-edge line of good and evil
Eat every goddamn fruit in the garden
And smoke whatever weeds we find!
We are the descendents of bad decisions
Of evolutionary screw-ups,
Living out our tradition of shooting first
And asking questions always.

So stay freaky.
Life’s too short
To just survive.

In other news, I have a youtube channel!
