New Monsters

Broken mirrors
and black cats,
superficial smiles
and dirty rats,
I'm losing focus
and fading fast,
wishing the future
looked less like the past.
If you can never have too much
of a good thing, I think
I'll sit back an have
another drink.
Watch the old sun set
and the blurry moon rise
and maybe someday find a way
to break off all these ties.
I would kill for a short
long-day.
I think that I'm a liar;
it sure feels that way.
For all the vice
swept under the rug:
new monsters between the ears
are kept warm and snug,
but I'd never tell you
I'm okay
unless I meant it.

I'm okay, okay.
