4 cups of coffee
swallowed
as legs incased in nylons cross
and silky sounds fill my void
rubbing my dick in-dreams

eh fuk it, cause it aint legit
JUST MORE CONFUSED-
Lines
Bad lines
So if you don’t mind,
im gonna close the book
on walt Whitman and the ice tea glass
the green eyed woman in business suit with nightmare past
and playful foot.

Bring it back to a sincere form of reality
A life based on the grind
not romance novellas or
sleight of hand lifestyles
1’s where writers live handcuffed to paycheck
and there are no red balloon chases
or trips to Portugal in search of gold deplumes

cause for what u give up
you should be paid more
the truck in
leading to
the truck out in 4 feet of snow and the boss
don’t care because the boss don’t have to

the dancing sugarplums
have turned into union representatives
and the wizard of OZ
is playing its hand
on every level of life
the curtain
we cant pull, the legit gripe left in voice mail
a board room where mr so and so is in a meeting
and im sorry but it will be a few hours so have a
seat
or
call back later or leave your bullshit life in paper form
here with me and after im done blowing him maybe ill slide
it on down his way…maybe (you want those benies don’t you?)

Its called the grind
Sore feet in dress shoes
Pictures in the wallet that look familiar
But who the fuk is that?
It’s a tight relationship with your creditors
And you know someone leaves the mail
On the table but whoever it is you aint seen them in awhile
Not really seen them, or the change the new hobby that takes up all day
And leaves her sweaty and satisfied


Its all set up for you to get
Set up

So either write your way out or
Join me on the sidelines





**ok it was a bad night boring as hell and
I failed to accomplish anything useful.
so cut me some slack and if you read this I apologize, but you still have a few more days to check out Sleep easy or not at all my short story on the board which is quickly making its way off the board. dont miss it, its senfukinsational!
Ok seriously it sucks but im low on reviews and so so pathetic

"Its called the grind

But who the fuk is that?" you have truly captured the life of the middle class worker. Excellent write!
