NO SLEEP

NSFWPoem

Ambien addict

up on downers

calls a time out sheep counting sesh

but clock ticks slow

hare to the turtle

Benadryl groggy sclera wrapped in

red hair roots

tree on the rots

peers outside outside looks back

teeth mean in the mouth

window muzzle

paranoid make of insomnia's puzzle

product of a 9 to 9 suicide plan

running hamster wheel marathons on Tryptophan

and the white walls reign both sides of the planet

moon to the sun like couch to the desk like

look, blink

scene is the same?

life in prison for a few cents change?

mental intermission for a few winks gained?

bi-week pay til' the brain crawls away just

opens and swallows

Normison now then C-PAP follows

bright light therapy? left to the ballows

Melatonin time bomb blasts an answer

NO SLEEP

troglodyte upright left to the sun

battles with the rabble of the psychobabble nuns like

see a bed of rulers going down upon the noggin'

til' they give into their penance with a buckshot scolding

.

Lortab punk

up on spray paint

marches to the sniff of a different Jenkem tank

Methadone prone

down from agony

fire-walker stalk through streets uncertainly

mole to the day

eyes caked shut

snip that scissor jimmy open those slots

sunlight pours in

salt on the wound

beggar of a lighter fire in this afternoon

like a Bic lit incense stick in the board

just wafts in nirvana on a codeine tour

Vicodin candy clumped in bags

lines this dope's lair like spider egg sacs just

look, blink

infestation

RX bottles contain elation

Water-bong Shisha coal persuasion

an Opiate Box projects the station of

US trouble

rem economy out in the rubble

tranquil nights? syringe daily double

re-run enthusiast chants the mantra

NO SLEEP

proud pin cushion with a taste of the edge

teeter-on-a-totters of the schizophrenic ledge like

see a ballerina pull a plié to a dive on the

tightrope separating men from the Übermensch

.

Game boy skank

up on hit points

Speed running quad screen queen of the split joint

game genie pwned

down from luxury

cardboard house no cheats dark scenery

hikikomori mori

duct taped door

game sharks circle the respawn zone

cell phone rings in

fly in the food

decline fam moths out through the roof

like a forage fish eats fill from the sea

just hoards up junk leaning tower of pizza

cartridge Prozac lines the lair

while girly goomba's squashed and bare just

look, blink

PT sequel

Ringu hellspawn with no equal

Shower bath foreign chatting by quill who

Stays up owl though chugging NyQuil but

Game over prison

Last life wrecked huffed bowl through the resin

Orbs fly high drink under Robitussin

Side quest next grind through the levels of

NO SLEEP

AP baby now down in the mud

Rolling and squealing hog cracked screen scrub like

see a pixelated prima donna swipe right for the

gallows when her life is only worth a single byte
