When

Existential Methadone

By: - Feb 23, 2016

When

When
Does this make sense
Finally something
Meaningful
That hasn’t been
Written
Too many times
Musty verse
Nothing new
Under this sun
Fuckit lists
How to avoid
Platitudes
Glory of nature
Sunsets
Surfing in Paradise
Exotic adventures
Friends who find
Visiting Cuba or India
Disappointing
The inconveniences
Compared with
Getting a NY cab
In the rain
So much for the
Taj Mahal
Precious nuggets
Information and insights
Connecting the dots
Necklace of pearls
Wiggy wisdom
Strung out
Striving
Beyond the ordinary
Genuine faux
Endless lies
Sorted through
Lives frontloaded
For my generation
Drugs, sex, rock ‘n’ roll
Backloaded now
Penance and pills
Measured in doses
Existential methadone
Not getting buzzed
Diet and exercise
Hanging on tight
Seatbelts fastened
What became of
All that raging
Sweaty sex
Like you see on TV
Millenials
Hooking up
Sanguine potential
Deferred to now
Last shootout
OK Corral
Hipster gunslingers
Rock stars
Dropping like flies
Reminder that
All is vanity
Losing grip
On our sanity
