devil in a new dress
• Written by Anonymous
hazy summer
floating in the pool
smoking on another
joint of marijuana
the humidity
and toxicity
of this sticky icky
keeps me relatively
in captivity
caught in a cloud
of mild negativity
because it's too damn tempting
to drift so easily
warm summer air
life moves so breezily
float drifts with the breeze and we
forget the shit that we dreamed to be
when we was in elementary
we saw the world for what it could be
a place of opportunity
the worst part of it all
is i'm aware of my laziness
aware of my talents that i'm wasting in
favor of the instantaneous
gratification
i get from getting high
and lazing in the sun
all day
and when the day ends
it's another of the earth's rotations
that i spent giving in
to earthly temptations
spent evading, avoiding
spending time in a void
devoid of ambition
literally and figuratively unemployed
