A Gift Called Life

I caught the meeting
I saw some friends there
Martin Rape, Marion Hind, Burns Atlanta, Jacuzzi Sweet…
Why did I come here?
I want to go
I don’t need you owl-eyed confessions
With all the nicotine smiles and steaming cups of jerk
I don’t need the cure
That shit is ratnip to me
Stop, hold on, let me out
That’s right by God
I’m not some Guinea human pig show
You hamster-hearted walking prophylactics
Find yourselves another throwback to laugh at
Admit what?
I admit nothing
No
Am I in the right place
Are you the cool kids?
Faux-eccentric chainsmoking pretenders
I fought for your civil rights bitch
I don’t need a lecture
What?
What’s wrong, did I say something?
I’ll never quit, your all wrong and I can prove it
And so I left the meeting
I felt a l bit wrung out having said all that
But I was wiser and better
So I thanked Martin and Marion and Burns and Jacuzzi
Because after all I still had the most important thing of all
A gift
A gift called «life»
A gift called «life»
A gift called «life»
