poem 007: we're laughing with you

you look for the answers
read today’s news
find meaning in numbers
and the ledbetter blues

you look to be saved
buy a swap-meet rosary
kneel down and pray
with your scumbag poetry

you look to the sky
stare at the sea
nothing as futile
as futility (lol)

we’re not laughing at you 
not by far
join us please 
there’s a seat at the bar

have a meet-cute 
with your innermost beast
barkeep 
a little evil if you please
