A VERY MODERN EASTER

by Sam Silva

It’s so easy
for depression and despair
to lie awake and turn,
burn
a cigarette
with mindless dull regret
and stink the lungs
with smelly air…exhaled!
 
I was without myself and crazy
so I nudged myself awake
glad for that cold drizzle…April rain!
 
I was beside myself and lazy
while the rain steamed dry and paled.
On or off the TV…everything is fake!
except for that dull feeling
and its pain….
