Serotonin with a side of fries, please
The writing, art, and other mental health randomness from a 40 something teacher from New Jersey.

I am a quixotic,
sacrosanct dance,
but my memory
is nothing but piles
of bootleg regret poetry.
The future is as elusive
as a 7th place trophy,
and your ego is a sucker punch
that feels like a hard kiss.
If I am to suffer like a fool,
let me do so gently
in a well worn haunted disguise.
Every damaged race,
Every forest tree
may change to young mourning,
butterfly damage,
female & male bodies
lay young,
not at all unusual.
Liquid hunger kissing
will slowly disrupt
savage starving streets
mouths, hair, eyes, flesh…
part the pale almond dawn.
Stay safe and healthy, my friends 🙏🏻
