hey
\nreader
\ncould you reveal
\nthe melody of
\nbaseline happiness
\nand sanitized sedation?<\/p>\n

some people
\nhave an answer for everything
\nothers
\nhave only questions<\/p>\n

quiet rebellion on a friday night
\nobserving chaos from a distance<\/p>\n

i have beer
\nand metal
\nand cigarettes
\na sidewalk couch
\nand the smell of summer’s decay<\/p>\n

and then
\nfinally
\na message,
\na moment
\nto finish a poem
\nas eight silver fingers
\ndipped in lead
\nslide across this
\nsecluded keyboard
\nonce more<\/p>\n
