Clean and Sober
by Lola Nation
Clean and sober
It’s the shampoo and condition syndrome,
Switch brands
from healthy brainwash scams
to spiritual cleansing
Drowning in repetition
Following the siren
on the bottle
thinking there’s a median
just because Aristotle
once said that a person
must go to both extremes
to find their center
Of course, at times like this
he’s a mentor

Should I or Shouldn’t I
Pixie twins of indecision
residing on my shoulders
whispering new plans
to take over
the world
one day at a time
but forgiveness and apologies
are not nearly the same
I crave redemption,
but I’m sorry I came.
