Life Of Gear

The ultimate high
The ultimate low
Wasted veins
Repetitive strains
An habitual girlfriend
Way past her prime
Smack took her shine
The veteran survivors still grind

A show of emotion
Devotion to addiction
A life-style of evictions
Partners through circumstances

A circle of friends lends
Friends to scam friends
The meagre pale existence
Wasted by dependence
The daily pains
The daily ungains

Huddled together
I saw them cry
Many times
When again
Realisation struck
What?
Why?
When?
If?

I'm so tired, fed up
What if?
When I?
Why did?
If I had?

Thoughts that crossed
Were continually lost
Silent screams for help
Denied by teenage angst

Accelerated aging
From the age of kicks
Stuck in a past
Which forever seems to last

Chemical utopia
Eliminates fears, eliminates pain
No tears, no thoughts
No more, nothing

The hunt for gear
Budgeted recut of the score
Sold off on the chance
To provide for even more
Another violent chase to face
Relief on return to base
Syringe, spoon and cotton

Another shot to neverland chase
Stupor phase all is forgotten
All is forgotten, all is perfect
Free but legless
The half hour stupor recovery

Rough throated and dazed
Over-happy, peace on earth
Over-hippy, love you all
Strolling in the downpours
The freak Fred Astaire
Singing in the rain
With brolly and cosmic fare
Vomiting extreme
High power splutters in between
Cleanly executed
The pace remains the same
Undisturbed
He's still singing in the rain
