Delicate Explosive

Sobriety keeps me ticking.

I am a bomb, see what makes me
tick — inefficiency makes me sick,
a born skeptic, doubt is too thick
to breathe or see others for what
they could be beyond
their infringement of my sanctuary.

I am a bomb, the countdown
has begun — but I won’t
be undone, won’t become
just anyone. I tried to defuse
with booze, but it just made me
lose my creative muse and kept me
drowning in blues.

I am a bomb, so tread lightly
for it’s unsightly when I’m lit
too brightly, and BOOM —
I explode and unburden my load
A fat scoop of shame a la mode.

follow wormwood for periodic weird.
or just have another bite…
