Drunks are bears; they ain’t wolves

CEE

Community
Even here?
A gathering together of shards of loners and the Don’t Give a Flying
A “let’s be together”
For glug-gluggers and “I’m hurtin’, man!”
There has to be a better way than Otherness...has to be

The whole scope of bars or
The ritual of getting high,
Is socialization alongside Other beings
But only “alongside”
Their just being “there”
Like at your job
Or, your church
Or, time spent with in-laws
There they are, flesh and sound, but
They’re a formica tabletop in
Your Play
See, whatever actual emptiness whatever
Doesn’t “count” in the maelstrom of
<>“HAAA-HaHa-Haaaaa...!”
or red-eyed shadows
or hulkin’ out
or rediscovering bodies
or even
“Mother, oh, Mother, why?!”
Because you’re OUT
At a bar
Or in a sealed-off room, doing things you shouldn’t be doing
Nightly human’s as false as daily
You do the Fakey-Fakey, and don’t turn Yourself around,
You’re what it’s all about!

A group of smashed
People glasses
Un-made-up pug deadness
Ugly babies, lower-lipping one another
Community, yeah
Where no one is permitted to be or see a robot,
But all of whom would hiss, tea kettle, at a class in
Social skills
