‘extra’   tonight indignation listens to me solely but only when billy bush is not speaking. sometimes i worry my mind will explode in a spray of deep verses but the television can always be counted upon to pull me from the precipice.  it has not turned 8pm yet and already i am bound for bed, alone, and like the lampshade, holding back my light. my truest time comes when i close my eyes. billy? i lost any hope of stardom  a long time ago. #barflypoet #josephapinto © Joseph A.
