a poem by Scurvy Bastard

Wanking the Hangman

Another monumental bender
Woke up in a foreign country
again
With a fistful of passports
and a mind like a shotgun shack
Blindingly unbrilliant
The color of hurt
Tedium Furioso
Desperate for details
through bloodstained dreams
as the memory police
took no prisoners
An alphabet clusterfuck down a
razored tongue
My eyes divorced each other
while maraschino testicles played
hide and seek downtown
A full subscription to The Futility of
Footsteps
The familiar terror thump announced
another rogue corrosion
Epiphany delayed
Redemption detoured
Something's burning
and it ain't London
