I've lived a life of madness and mayhem. I’ve had diabetes for 50 years and have been addicted to one substance of another for 45 of those years. It has been a beautifully joyful and painful schizophrenic ride: drugs, booze, women, music, writing, and learning with each new success or defeat. This blog tries to come to grips with all of life's fractures and contains everything--even you.

A CHRISTMAS ADMONITION
Waking up
from the deep
recesses
of sleep,
merciful sleep,
only to find
the poisoned presence
of the person
you fucked
the night before
is the mind's horror
of Christmas' past.
We would be wise
to remember
the stove;
the stove
is still hot,
politics
is still
a whore's game
and nothing changes
except
the will
to change.
Norman Savage
Greenwich Village, 2016
