historically today is a day

that i am blacked out

that i spend the wee hours

of the morning

legs tangled with

another one night stand

instead i am trying to join

the rat race

in order to drink tomorrow

and get a new tattoo

i’m trembling from

too much coffee and cigarettes

and the hopes of having

an in depth conversation

with an apathetic acquaintance

during a solar eclipse

of the soul
