Rotten Avocados Covered In Toothpaste

i don’t live.
i don’t die.

i don’t march through blood soaked
fields
i don’t run while the mortars
rip
the ground apart

all around me.

i snort.
i drink.
i smoke.
i laugh.
i vomit.

i bleed from the mouth
like an
infant

begging, swirling whirlpools of pavement
stained crimson on
the white lines

driving to your house with thoughts of
enjoying a smoke and maybe
playing a little grab ass

but instead

i am parked on the side of the road
i am 24 and
going to die

i’m not a
soldier
i’m a
drunk
addict

puking his life away
fueling the highway
with
blood.

the soul floats like smoke out
from the heart

all around me.

no guts for a
bullet

only a
bottle.
