No Surprise

it's a hard liquor and hand gun night
with a snicker and a won ton diet
underneath a metric ton of a jack a*s virus
bearing down on every single one of us
pleasant like, tonight
with a very pretty vicious bow on top. . .
tonight,

during hand gun and hard liquor night

we all of us everyone of us will be just,
like,
. . .
without even ever knowing it
was never not once already
deep down in every one of our inside's

this whole mother ducking time

it should be no surprise

You captured what many often see or feel but don’t admit or act out. I think we most often take the temporary solution to the temporary problem, hard liquor to crush the day’s nagging pain. The music makes this move the reader closer to recognizing that dark place.

I think we're all monsters. I also think we're all saints. (well, maybe not people like Ted Bundy or Ed Gein or John Gacy or the like. . . they're far far worse than we will ever have words for). How we deal with the outside defines us on the inside. It's never a fair deal, for most of us it's always going to be easier to be one or the other for reasons we can't always control. Sometimes all it takes is a single life changing moment to turn a monster into a saint or a saint into a monster. None the less, if you don't take it too seriously either way hand gun and hard liquor day is almost always a good time.

It's nice to see you around Mr Ray. Don't forget to wish your mother a happy mother's day tomorrow... you might be a monster if you do.
