I look around to see I’m nowhere/ nothing

Fritz Hamilton

I look around to see I’m nowhere/ nothing
nowhere is pretty hard to swallow, especially when
I have no throat, & there’s nothing to swallow with, which

makes the world nil & me a nihilist, with
a silly twist that I’m conscious, but if the world is
nil, there’s nothing to be conscious of, but

I’m conscious, therefore I am, which
might give Descartes some thought, because he
thought, therefore he was, or

to make it present, I think, therefore I am, unless
you don’t give a damn, you eat, therefore you’re
beat & you treat yourself to a good night sleep, &

if you think you might have nightmares, the
mares that night are sleeping in their
stalls unless the stallion calls; then

it’s off to mate & drink a Colt 45 to
wash down her filly ... mignon with some pretty
powerful horsepiss, &

when it’s all over, you’re glue; so
even if you win the race, Whirl-a-way, you’re
DOOMED ...
