(cue booming hollow sports announcer voice)
super bowl SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY
ground hog day
on which
punxsutawney phil saw his fictitious shadow
in the epicenter
of manufactured battles
man vs. weather
man vs. processed cheese polymer
man vs. traumatic brain and spinal cord injury
my war
is that my personal health is at a tipping point
the choices i make now
will determine the length of my life
and my overall wellness
2014 must be the year i stop
abusing myself
with smoke
with drink
with bad jobs
with bad men
my sons are 18 now
i choose to see them live as flourishing men
i want to put my best face forward
for the coming apocalypse
this leaves me with only one drug
words
my sword dipped in ink
in the contest between good and evil
good wins
know why?
books
kisses from children
and puppies
but even they won’t stop the earth
from feeling the need to
cure itself of us
we are coming to our unpollinated end
so all you lesser demons can fuck off

F’in damn right. Great piece from a force of nature.
I am white girl high-fiving you across the miles, sister!
Force of nature… that’s a perfect description for you.
