A new poem inspired by exogenous substances and family dysfunction.

Climb aboard
I can take it
    make it
    fake it
Go ahead, chip your dope
You can take it
    make it
    fake it
Pet your cat, eat your rat, It’s all that
Leave me, beat me, steal me, I can
    take it
    make it
    fake it

​Disappearing day by day, hour by hour, sec by sec
I don’t know you. You don’t see me, you
    take it
    make it
    fake it
All burns up in a cup
upon a spoon
    a tune
    a loon
    too soon
Salacious smoke slithers
out window’s crack—a lightening strike across glass
    top left
    through
    bottom right

I’m left and nothing’s right
A silhouette in a dark room.
