either life has failed me or I’ve failed life

I'm not sure if I like this one yet... we'll see. There will be changes.


creeping
frictionless atoms
that stalk and walk around
strike hope
with Bukowski’s words of booze
and collapse
I
try to focus
a mind
made up
without success
meat eaters
need rides from
her, she stops
as she finds her
mocha- tainted-
and resolves to drink
the waste
life has not brought up
the topic of it’s
selfish divorce
it’s undermining mind
melting
deflation
but sometimes you just
know,
you’ve been built up
to fail
