Conversations By Daniel S. Irwin
I gave up tending bar,
Too many sad stories.
Lately, I’ve had these
Constant thoughts of
Death. I’ve even had
Conversations with the
Dead, rather one sided.
It’s getting pretty weird.
Maybe this isn’t really
Working out, my new
Job as the night man
At the city morgue.

Sipping Insecticide By John Patrick Robbins
Embracing the poison to avoid dealing with humanity, the clock is insignificant as my life these days.
Keep your head down and your true face masked.
It's bleeding at the seams as we are broken internally from the start.
Empty vessels all pine, as you simply taste freely granted pleasures to escape feeling anything that is truly real.
A shared disease, an unwanted curse.
We were reckless as now we are bound to a countdown, a time bomb of internal hemorrhages implosion.
Blood tears shed in a durst bleak is the landscape of damnation's promise.
Does anyone have a cigarette?
Fuck the blindfold and you as well.
Open fire.
