Garden of Hedonism



Walk into the light

Follow the music trail

Join the party

Pour yourself a brew

or two

or three

Hook up
with an eager dance partner

or two

or three

Cancel your staid morality

Take your vice
wherever you can find it

Be the flawed creatures
we were made to be

Submit to the primal urges
that flow naturally
from your body

Come the foggy
morning after
confess your recycled sins
to the hollow man
collecting plastic souls

Gargle residue guilt
and spit out
pointless regrets

Leave the absolution
to the bored saints
sitting alone
every Saturday night
chanting their rosary beads
smothered in empty prayers
