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
