LIFE IS TOO HARD
Boo, hoo—booze, coke, pot and smack
are so delightful, euphoria is here to stay,
(for moments at a time anyway)
Don’t look now, but the happiness police
are on their way, just like during Prohibition
when gangsters ran amuck to keep everyone smiling.
Can only a controlled addiction can make life possible
while waiting for the black widow spider at the end of the end?
Maybe we just need more naked bodies loving each other.
