PHARMARCADE
He’s all mouth,
running that same maze
forever
sucking down the dose
that’ll get him to the next.
Forever
running from his ghosts;
chasing the next dose
into a corner.
Forever
hoping one more try
will give him the strength
to live a little longer
maybe meet the right girl
and settle down.
He’s all mouth,
no pockets, not even
a gummy quarter.
He’s backed into a corner
when the ghosts catch up.
