Embittered Age

The air conditioning is pulling at my teeth
I can taste the gun metal beneath my tongue
and those sterile choices laid before me
like a closed test paper I'm waiting to sit
little reward for not falling into debt
or maintaining my weight on a modest income
This celebrity status eats at my longing
I hunger for an unwanted break
from the arrogance I exhibited in '91
eighteen was such an embittered age
