I Don’t Chase Wild Women Anymore

[tectak]

(inspired by Ellajam)

I fear my life has become a bore,
I don’t chase wild women anymore,
—nor do they chase me—. This dash not needed unless you believe you are Will Self
I’ve given up the drugs and the drink,
so now if I should falter, it’s not from
worshipping at the porcelain altar,
or someone’s bathroom sink.
I’ve lived my life 3 to their 1,
but this fourth one is not so much fun,
and I’m feeling so very tired and undone
—better when I was insane—
I guess I can’t complain.
Better than formaldehyde in,
and blood swirling
down,
down,
down

…the drain!

Excellent if veracity verse and doubly so if not.
Lovin' it, sadly.
