Not Tomorrow?
Being Enlightened

Today I'm eating dirt
Today I'm chewing cardboard
Today I'm wearing concrete
It's a gray, dismal, bored
Today it's warm, I'm cold
Today you smile, I frown
Today you shone, I fell
To the filthy, dirty ground
Today you loved, I died
Today you laughed, I cried
Today is just another day
That lives on the promise of a beautiful tomorrow
Today I'm chewing cardboard
Today I'm wearing concrete
It's a gray, dismal, bored
Today it's warm, I'm cold
Today you smile, I frown
Today you shone, I fell
To the filthy, dirty ground
Today you loved, I died
Today you laughed, I cried
Today is just another day
That lives on the promise of a beautiful tomorrow
Forget your perfect offering, there is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in. - Leonard Cohen

to get busy living
or get busy dying
or play off another's
deep seated sorrow
at midnight today is
another tomorrow
The living is what's got me crying
And I wait with baited breath
To see this wretched day's death
I'll wait by night
But come first light
I'll take my stand
Tomorrow will be grand
I shall ride
The sharp end
Of a sharp knife
Under my ear
Across and again
Plunging it through
My juggle lure.
Giggle gasp the
fascinating
muck gurgles
in my worthless mouth.
My cup overflowing
warms my ancient chin,
Adding color
to my fright white dress.
I wonder…
Would instinct save me?
BEFORE I became
a bloody brilliant success?
Success in Death
THE “Certain Achievement”
In everyone’s short lives.
I know I will be my best in death!
They'll suck me dry and fill me with formaldehyde!
They'll paint my face up all pretty like!
They'll put me in my bestess dress!
They'll all stand around and say what a good person I was, even if I wasn't!
They'll put me on display!
And when they're done, I'll decay!
Hey, hey, hey, what a glorious day!
they'll sew yer mouth shut
so your jaw wont drop
when you finally find out who your friends are
