the problem is unidentified
but you're a smart guy
i'm sure you can find a vice
that will make it go away
some sort of smoke
to obscure impending obstacles
or a gnawing addiction
to chew round the edges of modern life

or, sorry,
if you're sick of the smell
then maybe try not
to shit the bed so often

because, oh look,
here's another day,
sunlight pouring across concrete
illuminating another chance for you
to go double or nothing on life

and maybe you've come up empty handed
and maybe it was on my quiet watch
and maybe i'm not doing much better over here

but, yes,
all debts will be repaid,
whether we're alive or not to receive them,
and we'll collect the lots
we spent a lifetime casting;
the moment will come...
the great blow off...
the great thank you...
the great payout...
the great fuck off...
the great thank you...
the great blowout...
