The New Man

 

Tonight, I had this violent dream

People got killed,

drunk surgery took place

And, for once,

even my gums were showing

 

When I woke up

I took a shower

But I still had the Red Eye

Rubbing shampoo in my hair

felt like nails on a plate

I started shaking,

blurting aggresive vowels

And drewl soaked my teeth 

 

Before I knew it

I had busted my cabin

and found myself naked

in the middle of the street

Screaming and cursing

Breaking my limbs on nearby cars

Stuck

in sweet and sheer aggression

 

At that particular moment

I was the most emotional human being,

the most honest of men

In the whole block

 

And even then

They didn't like me

Your Counting Crows pic got my attention. Adam Duritz is my absolute favorite. Your poem reminded me of crazy nights of drinking, eventually blacking out and wondering just what kind of madness took place the night before. I dont think that is where you were coming from with your writing, but I related all the same!
