The Harsh Light of Sobriety

I am
atilt
a simmer
aloof
& alit

Restless in bed,

but getting more sleep,

and dreaming vividly.

eVerY LitTle thiNg BUgS mE.

SnapPInG rotTweILer iNside,
aNd out, a hOT shEet of iCe.

people do nothing but stoke my fire

Sharpness stings,

clarity kills,

avarice avails,

and mundaneness murmurs moribund

into a goo of chaotic good.

God, it's all crap

nothing sounds right
everything feels prickly
but the heavens assure me
all is as it should be

thank you?
