Tears




Edge


I went to Dupars
on Ventura Blvd for breakfast.
Sitting at the counter smoking
waiting for my french toast and bacon.
The yakkity yak yak, talk, talk
dishes clank, cups rattle
bullshit flying like the blue angels
all around me suddenly became
so loud that I knew
the crap in my life had
driven my head over the edge,
my wife, my job, the city,
the fucking french toast.
I made it back to the parking lot,
lit another smoke and drove off.

-"Burning In Paradise"
