The Attitudinal Problems Associated with Being a Realist

Riding hangovers out over days
not worth revisiting
let alone
having lived in the first place.
Where everyone is loitering
but no-one will admit it.
A thousand lies
and lips still moving –
tongues on teeth
forming consonants
as if to conjure a salve
for flesh
that is more wound than limb.
Maybe
we’re all just trying to
reconcile the difference
between
dreams and reality.
