Criminally Insane

Friday

Maker's neat

10:57

Slayer, Reign In Blood, blasting the air around the bar

Criminally Insane just winded down and I smile with vengeance

into the glass

To hear this in a bar

in the Pacific NW

-the anti-formula of today

the clarity of evil

the night has unfolded into a chromoly desert

watching the people but

also not watching them

sitting here absorbing

the beautiful chaos.

Track ten on the album

spits the whiskey into blood:

Pierced from below, souls of my treacherous past

Betrayed by many, now ornaments dripping above

Awaiting the hour of reprisal

Your time slips away
