Detox Dramas

Mike Brennan

All the key players act out my
methods of madness
across the drunken green screen
of my severely dazed delight
with the rupturing twilight
of my yawning youth’s last days
tripped to bow before a
demon’s phrase of praise

I knelt mourning sanctified beheadings
numb with victory for the dumb
piggish & philosophic
pondering alien degrees
& the grandest in machines
& opportunistic symphonies

I suckled sour grapes
on the run, on the beat, on the street
leaving the lot vacant
for lusty liaisons with
goddesses of ill-repute

Our tongues wagged
to tie a bind
to dispute, to pierce, to behold

The majestic glory of the gutter
where the young muster
to become
pure-bred monsters
faces burned & turned
all savage & old
tarred & feathered
& weathered by the cold.
