Narcotics Anonymous, a poem

 Narcotics Anonymous

a poem


by James Krendel-Clark




in junior high, 


my condition got better


i would watch TV 



in mental institutions



practicing the principles 



of the program



i was still 



secretly 



acting-out,



and I am an addict





<<the spiritual principle 



of unconditional love>>




I want to stay clean


I was having nightmares


even when I wanted to


but the guilt


between


rival street gangs


and I thought I 


would kill 


some time


and I was dead



{{{like angels}}}


flawless splendor


TERRORISM X X X




my arms and legs covered 


with needle marks



and the doors 


of the universe 



opened 



to me



and there they were



the martyrs of an evil road




(((((((life and death



[[[[[[[[tough love



I quit school


{{TORTURE


fumbling through 


the pages


{{indistinct muttering


too late


it seemed so premature


{{THE END

  MARGARET THATCHER “Without evil, literature quickly becomes boring”- Bataille. Yes, but this truth only makes sense given Bataille’s Catholic prehistory. He speaks here less of radical      evil than of literary evil, which           is different from evil in real  life,                even different from evil in  poetry.                     Life has a form that translates                          itself into literature.  But life                               is not mere badness.  Life                                    is the unbending  of m...
