Mister Spendthrifty the Unrepentant Alcoholic.
_____________________
Mister Spendthrifty the
Unrepentant Alcoholic,
adopts a carefree attitude.
(because he really cares so much.)
He thinks it's likely the safest bet.
(since people mostly suck.)
The Street Bums, and Meth Hookers,
and Runaway Gems (who see themselves
as lumps of Coal) all flock to Him;...
He is their prophet who preaches about
A Life reflective of the Saddest Realism.
He hates the attention that they secretly crave.
(and so he pays it all to them.)
It's ironic how some who are capable of
doing nearly Anything, choose to have
(and Be) Nothing. Existing as Phantoms
of The World who cling patehtically to
the antiquated fables of their upbringing;...
Mister Spendthrifty the Unrepentant
Alcoholic probably knows them all.
(which is why you would never catch him
weeping.)
For a 6 dollar Bottle and a pack of Cheap
Smokes,.. Mister Spendthrifty will work
an 8 hour day, or write you some
of the greatest poetry anyone has written.
Some see Him as a Joke. Others see a Star Unrisen.
He sees another Bottle, on Another
Day....full of people he cares about So Much.
(in a world that mostly Sucks.)
