What Happens in Vegas Stays in Vegas (TM)

I am tired of these radio commercials
that say
"What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas"
or
"Fight your DUI."
Sure...
we promise
we won't rat you out--
just give us money,
then it will not matter.
That's ok.
Really, you're only accountable
to yourself.

Tides (Liquid Sisyphean)

"Lash'd to this ship sail I

Upon everlasting current

Borne rudderless

But compass'd

I weary of the sea all around.

Green gull'd and gulleted,

Sad that this is the sickness;

Only drowning the cure.

The 90s (Romanced by the Past)

The 90s called

They want to see you
Half-naked
On your boyfriend's bed

With no particular dreams
Wet underwear
Empty bottles
Prozac Nation self-mutilation
Endless stupidity on your parents' dime

They want to know your age, sex and location
(When you never knew any of those)

They want to send you
Fake plastic trees
and
Flowers in December.
