kismet: shake, cry, question tomorrow

my poetry used to be all about conquering the world
one whiskey shot at a time, one woman and a rhyme...

now I write comedy that is beyond self-depreciating,
shitty jokes about bad decisions, lost in comparisons.

when will I wake up to smell the goldenrod,
and stop believing that life is just a funny sunset?

everything I was looking for was looking through you,
and now I must wake up now to wake up now to wake up then to wake up when.
