I️ think I’ll retire
You’ll have to wait and see
If I️ undo the damage of
Food and Drug’s WMD
I’ve got books to write, people to see
Alcohol on it’s own don’t appeal to me
I’m better off screen writing or muckraking
God damn the sober mind
That brings no peace
God bless the Xanax left
In my bloodstream
And after the death of my closest friend
I️ decided to take his name
Like a marriage without sex
That way his name could live on
Long after my credit card debt is all paid off
Long after they find me hanging
In some Park Slope loft
God damn the sober mind
That brings no peace
God bless the Xanax left
In my bloodstream
I️ want to die with the presidency
At the Vanderbilt in Nashville, Tennessee
Lying on the floor of the Al Gore Suite

Shrouds

Biopsy, image-guided
Anesthesia, peace and quiet
Move these organs to the side
Cauterize the bleeding
A vacuum-assisted needle
Medically-assisted suicide
Look alive
A hole left in the plaster
Between what was and wasn’t said
The shrouds we wrap around the dead
Will become tatters
And on our father’s side
So precious few remain alive
They don’t have much to leave behind
But what remains gathers
Bilateral abduction
Ataxic motor function
The rot deep within your life
A pound of flesh worth keeping
Vital signs just worth repeating
Carcinoma metastasized
Look alive
A hole left in the plaster
Between what was and wasn’t said
The shrouds we wrap around the dead
Will become tatters
And on our father’s side
So precious few remain alive
They don’t have much to leave behind
But what remains gathers
You said you’ve loved me
From my beginning
And until the bitter end
Sometimes we forget
Sometimes we forget this is the only life
We’ll ever live.

Obliterated

In a dirty mirror I️ can see my face
A gun in my mouth; obliterated.
And I’ve had second thoughts
About the shirt to wear
About what you might find
When you find me lying there
And if I️ made a mistake
If I️ made a mistake
If I️ made a mistake
I️ only have myself to blame
In the NICU I️ can see her face
Umbilical round her throat; asphyxiated.
Paper skin wet with blood
And amniotic fluid
Surgeons try to revive her
I️ ask them not to do it
So if they made a mistake
If they made a mistake
If I️ made a mistake
I’d only have myself to blame

Jetsam-Flotsam Cary, Illinois
A family-owned, independent record label specializing in all kinds of punk-rock music
Jetsam-Flotsam recommends:
Black Numbers is label that we have a lot in common with sonically—hell, we even share a band or two. We just "get" them in a way that we don't get a lot of labels.
