176: This is a buzz unlike/caffeine...

This is a buzz unlike

caffeine

           too much coffee,

           acidic

           but purging the shit

unlike

too much nicotine:

          second hand, through a filter

          it’s still 7 minutes closer to death,

but it is an addiction

This spoken buzz is like

a dragon speaking (poetry)

into a microphone,

and out of the amplifier comes

           F I R E!

not the fire that burns to consume

but the fire that lights and

the soul keeps it lit

illuminated

pushing back the collective darkness
