THIS IS ONE VERSION OF THE FUTURE

 

Piker Press - Author: John Sweet

famine

 

a vast conspiracy

 

the future, which doesn't give a shit about you

 

narcissus, wasted on sunday

 

i'm not gonna tell you how to spend your money.

 

This one,

apparently,

has gone out of print.

because the idea of hope was all you ever wanted

if one of us was right, the other could only be wrong

 

rolling just to keep on rolling

 

just living and dying and whatever side you choose

 

and all of us drinking the blood of our enemies

 

and all of us drinking the blood of our enemies by John Sweet (Roadside Press) | Magical Jeep Distributing

sang like wolves in the golden age of moral ambiguity

 

a passable impersonation of a wounded animal laughing like a human

ON THE WAY FROM

ROADSIDE PRESS

if all you've ever been is nothing

 

and we were already dead and you couldn't stop dying

 

fucking waste of time waiting for christ’s return

 

without god, there is only the hope of brighter days

 A WEALTH OF POVERTY

everyone here is dying; everyone here swears they'll live forever

 

i no longer walked when it was easier to crawl

 

bitter laughter at this idea of resurrecting overdoses

were we already drowning when we got here?
