One last bowl before midnight chimes
Because visions of sugar plums dancing in my head feels a bit “White Claw”
Two dollar tip from a ten year old was the highlight of my day, but not in Trumpean fashion
Fireworks and gunshots fill the night
Symbolism is a useless gesture in this neighborhood
Federal holiday? Blow shit up
Sirens wail amuck as though someone blew a little too hard
High is high is high
The only thing higher is death, and let’s not go there
Songs to sing; stories to write; legends to earn, things to say
I mean, I kinda fucked “at” your mom back in the day, kid, but I wouldn’t say we fucked
I pointed in her general direction
No, that still doesn’t earn you enough tickets for the free book
How about this ultra cool pencil eraser instead?
