fairy tale of new york in the
background 
as you fall into yourself
and into the bottle, 

anything and everything 
that will distract you from
yourself and the enormity
of living.

sometimes reality moves so slow
and the 
stars seem so abstract
and painful that you get
this numbness. 

feeling yourself watching them
and feeling 
separate from it
and 
yourself wondering where 
the hell you are. 

no consolation and nothing to
hold on to but yourself.

living is not much but its 
all there is
and 
even in this situation death
is unthinkable and 
terrifying
(perhaps even
because of it).

tasting the taste of it knowing the
lips will rot. 

as a billion suns and a billion arms
grasp outward 
for something.

A new years eve poem
