DELIRIUM TREMENS

I DRANK IT IN HEAVY

the education the pairing up for life

and long-winded income on the end of strife and struggle

for a good time

at the end

good career

good wife

good man

good children after

studying a career plan guaranteed

to bring the windfall

of lust

put the bosom of that best ejaculated nut on wall street's edge

money.

But here I stand on the brim of waste

sucked out of societal waste

in the debt of time's emotion

tearful but not tearing

for that too is waste of wanted vision

waste of egocentricity

waste of paid for intellect

I shake

after diving into the bottom

sucking from what a last dime should provide

I shake

stomach knotted and brow furrowed

shake like never before

at the tension

the apprehension what would kill butterflies

long ago cocooned inside the verbiage of sales tactic

"cold call" "ten of twenty and five"

I shake this in your face

IN YOUR FACE

my economic tail tucked high enough for you to kiss

IN YOUR FACE!

the STARBUCKED LABEL.... foam still leaving trace

on my lips

whet from that desire

like delirium tremense

feint...

faint

to hell!

I don't have time for that

but SHAKE my cup

IN YOUR FACE

with economics and REAL ESTATE

high cost prime residential

books as my seat

on your corner

FINANCIAL DISTRICT

what a waste!

I stand here and SHAKE

ain't no alcohol other than the OPIUM left under my breath

from last year's effort at trying ...

just to make it hurt one more time

I tried without fail

so did they

and we both succeeded.

They did not buy

I did not earn the wage recounted

but gained this orgasmic taste built up inside

so tight I could bust

if

if and only if

you dropped the equivalent of the economic spoil America played

on my student loan.

I'm shakin

drop your dime

I'm here

and in YOUR FACE.
