it seems a few lifetimes
ago but there once was
this beautiful woman
that bought you a drink
in the bar one morning
after work
you were lost in flowery
language, hoping to impress
her and as usual the moment
passed
it is never easy to be yourself
when you have never met that
side of your soul
wading in dysfunction
the bottle is always cheaper
than therapy
no matter how expensive
they want to make
the good shit

He's been widely published over the years, most recently at Synchronized Chaos, Disturb the Universe Magazine, The Beatnik Cowboy, Lothlorien Poetry Journal and Black Coffee Review. You can find him most days on his mildly entertaining blog, evil delights. (https://evildelights.
