Liquor Reflection's AuguryA Poem by Allen MastersonI'm feeling bellicose at the bar.
Bile rising as I reflect on violent acts in an intrepid, drunken state staring faithlessly into a liquor reflection's augury. I can't take heed of my pituitary. My chakras are twisted, folded, flipped in a kind of cosmic anarchy. I'm a masticated mass a liberal might look upon with sympathy. She held me once, naivety between the sheets. Winter sparked in midnight's comforting delusions. We had to work in the morning, every morning. The hive needed honey, and we needed money. Big Brother's eye passed from wallet to unsated wallet; keeping tabs on our limitless greed. She left before the holidays, and I got to know the god Lexapro. He held my hand as we walked through the land of prostitutes, pimps, and parasites. My heart skipped cocaine beats in a hotel named after the the mother of Christ, or his wife.... I'll have to qualify that with a gnostic. I finally fell in slumber filled with benzo-klepto dreams; where everything I stole was blue, a melancholy hue, that always seems to be my theme. Eventually, I robbed a pharmacy; thought justified by my hijacked psyche. Now, I'm in Montana fleeing the law and feeling bellicose at the bar. Bile rising as I reflect on violent acts in an intrepid drunken state.... © 2011 Allen Masterson |
