Painkillers for Fun (Free verse) by Sunny
On the balcony with a bitter tongue
and remaining sun, I am rationalizing
before my buzz sets in. I
stare at the poppies for awhile.
* * * * * * * *
My thoughts
blinked like the yellow lights
at six; there were the heavy bills
blazing white on a desk, and painful drums
mauled my temples.
Now, with a white capsule influence,
those underfed insecurities suppress,
those dogs that once harassed
the alleys. Lethargic eyes roll
next to loitering clouds.
The opulence of these disengaged thoughts;
I love everything and marvel
at the trees. The clouds
seem sick, horizontal, skinny.
They do their nightly weakening.
The suns light slowly smothers at around eight.
And day's white light spills
down; my white pupils want
their dark veils. White high tapers
slowly from the white sheets that silence me.
