Transcendental Sonnet #884:
Now
I am just an old drunk I am just a piece of sh*t
But I have seen heaven and I want a piece of it
I own a fancy house in a very fancy town
But I cannot enjoy it because I am so down
The only reason that I am in this position
Is due to tragic generational transition
They are all dead now and I am left here all alone
My life has always been absurd I have never known
Any sort of equipoise any sort of meaning
But only the ridiculous and the demeaning
I feel as though I am to blame for my mother's death
I feel that I do not deserve this heartbeat this breath
I struggle to gather myself for Silke somehow
The past and the future appall... all I have is now
