An Ode to Hank

Its the pills ...

they don't make me happy,

they don't make me sad, 

they make me numb. 
Feel nothing all day long.

And now I have a cat.
As if the responsibility...
of taking care of another

living being
will not allow me 
to look over the 

terrace parapet,

and wonder why 

I haven't joined the
murder of crows

and flown away. 

Days are just to long 

and the damned pills are just

making me too numb,

for me to care about

this world brim filled

with loneliness.
To many sad and lonely,

to few genuine humans.

Hank had said : 

" There is to much loneliness in this world" 

And I concur. 

A can of tuna 

this day`s greatest 

achievement.
