The Poet is Drunk

The Poet is Drunk



Who
are
the

Drunk
Poets?


We
are
the

Drunk
Poets


We are
trying
to
redeem

our Selves

to All
the
Lovers

we
lost

or
left


trying
to
prove

to
our
Friends

we
are
Worthy

of
Xistence



sliding
down

Drunk

in

Rooms

across

World

and

Country


We are

blacking

our Selves

out

for

Redemption


howling
into the
Ears
of Lovers

or
crying
into
our
Pillows

so
they
don’t
hear
us


wailing
about

our
Silly
Mistakes

our
inAdequacies

our
Failing

to be
the
Best

People

in
the
World


We
are
suffering
for
our

Mediocrity

us
Worldly

Poets


We don’t
want
to
see

Any More


but we
want to
see

Every Thing

More
than

Any Thing


I want
to see

Every Thing

Better

than the
Rest
of

you


but I am
Only

One

among
you


One
digging
my

Personal
Hole


while
dreaming
of
my

Future

in the Sky


my Handsome

Lovers


my Reunion
with
Past

Lovers


my
Xaltation
in
the

Biography

of
this

Country


I want to
smile
down
on you

Wickedly

and take
you
into
my

Arms

to be
fucked
by
you

Metaphorically


to
unify
with

God

who
is
Only
the

Global

Consciousness


Only
Any Thing
we
want

him

to
be


the
Emptiest
Word

in an
Empty
World


the
Eternal

Darkness


the Closing
of
my
Eyes


the closing
of the

Single

Narrow

Window

that
is
the
World

as I
have
known
it
