as-of-yet-untitled

the shrink must've said,
"affirm your self
with this anger,"
an invitation into
that suburban sense
of inflated seen-it-all
with nuclear assertiveness:
know i'm in the right
seated at the left
hand of green,
unnatural virtue.
he sides with her,
dispersing wisdom
with the frantic
act-first impulse of
a caffeine headache.
his plan for the future:
ramshackle am-dream
control-freaking, a
recovering red bull
addict
shaking,
saving money,
wasting love
on M-m_M-Marlboro
Menthols, and,
making sure
that we know
he's always right
we're always left.
