Sad Bacchus

Sad Bacchus
sipping tea and blues,
sad refrain. sad Bacchus.
orange sunshine phosphate.
start a tab, take a stab.
my Eiffel tower, lost poets
forgotten verse. lost poetry.
bone crush, cotton fever -
cotton candy. headful of
teeth, a crocodile smile.
somnabulist, hitherto sleep.
sort of slumber. full of half -
dreams & gunpowder thoughts.
like Clowns in the rain, with
make-up running. the sodium
vapor lights, vapor-locking in
my head. idiot roar of static.
sun too hot. sun too bright.
confusion of dust, cobwebs.
white noise thunders in my
teeth. buzzing like madness
in my skull. sunk deep in my
bones. pitched electronic
squeals. idiot roar of static.
deafening radio silence. smells
like stripped wires are burning.
wire and tin. hate and teeth...
my eyes have become hearts,
and neither glare nor glitter.
