Swerve
Swerve through malaise colored
days that wash over me like disjointed movies shot
through mustard-toned filters
Too many sleeping pills bring
fragmented montage of scotch scoured dreams
of drowning drowning and drowning
Autumn afternoon shadows stretching
long lavender fingers through my window
to jab my gritty eyes while television blares
broken babble blasting about bombs and bloodshed
Future yawns before me in a chasm as
wide and dark as the perfect "O" of the
shotgun's barrel and I long for sleep as
smooth and cool as the trigger beneath my toe
-Frank H. Weeden

so sad.
Here's one that has helped keep me sane through times like these:
INVICTUS
OUT of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.
WILlIAM E. HENLEY
