ATOMIC OVERGROUND

Nothing cryptic anymore, no one silent.
Each day runs its course while God,
engrossed in game shows, gets stoned.

If my unreliable equilibrium
rivals that of a distracted drunkard,
why bother praying?

Earplugs! Klonopin!
Vampiric relatives steal
My macaroni!

I'm a writer. I'm the kind of writer who finds the entire business a tedious spiritual migraine until the Creative Gods pump me full of hope and mood stabilizers. I live in a rural vortex with little to no encouragement. I'm tired of online groups whose poetics center around unicorns farts.
