Well, night piles in -
                     drunk again,
breaks the back of Friday,
and throws the twitching body to
                               - the ground.

Right there next to me
               I hear old bones
a-creak and crackin�
something like a bad joke
but what can you do
                 - call the karma-medics?

�Everything must die or be torn apart�
they�ll say -
             and inject another shot
of poison so the week can end
its misery and drown
in dark blood and spit
and its own unconscious making.

The stink of mercy killing hits me then
           so I up and stand -
           and empty in the gutter
every shred of other days
I got stashed away in pockets
           and my cigarette smoke mind
           full of bars and throw-up alleys.

Might as well accept that nothing�s fixable
and anyway the weight just gets me down
and dirty with its smell -

It won�t be long til Sunday finds
              - I�ll still be here and near
                     a whole heap of mad
and broken down confusion
back
home
