Not a Knot

I'm not all that isolated.
I have beef and pork.
I have experts. 
John Fante, as well as Nietzsche.
They helped me move paragraphs.
And stretch. And cry. 
 
7 minutes passed 5 o'clock.
Beers but no beers. 
Highlight the night. 
Bad skin on my chest.
A taste of later.
Love is missing here. 
Dead cellphone. 

A million years ago, I died. 
No one cared.
And thats okay. 
I was borne of life business.
And the business of life is to live, baby. 
One day I will die like a hunted deer.
But at least I have songs in my ears.

To keep going is good.
I have to not let messed up egg Benedicts get in my way.
Because one day I am gonna die. Again. 
Color my pumpkins purple.
My back is slouched and cold. 
To keep going is good.
Because one day it all gets tied in a knot and stops.
