POEM OF THE DAY BY DANIEL BAILEY

Drunk Sonnet 14

IF ANYONE KNOWS WHAT IS GOING ON EVER THEN HEY

I AM HERE IT WOULD BE NICE TO TALK SOMETIME

INFOMERCIALS HAVE STARTED AND I KIND OF WANT TO DIE

I’M PRETTY SURE THIS ONE IS ACTUALLY FOR A MORGUE

OK SO ACTUALLY IT’S FOR THE BIBLE OR SOMETHING

SO IT’S A COMMERICAL FOR TRYING TO BE HAPPY OR SOMETHING

BUT I AM NOT HAPPY TONIGHT NO I AM NOT JUST HERE

IF HAPPINESS EVER WORKED THEN HOW—I DON’T KNOW

HAPPINESS IS A LIZARD IN THE SUNLIGHT GETTING WARM

AND THEN IN THE NIGHT BENEATH A ROCK EATING FLIES

AND SWALLLOWING THE MEAT OF THE TRASH OF THE DIRT

AH, SO TONIGHT IS A LITTLE DRUNK AND OK OK OK

THAT IS GOOD SO LET ME BE—THERE IS NO LOVE TONIGHT

GOD IS LIKE BONO—SOME DICKWAD NO ONE WILL EVER MEET OR LIKE
