Rockin' chickie...I can't wait til your feature:-)

Big Doors fan?

No offense, or anything. I've been a loyal listener for years. That's just how the piece struck me. Especially those opening lines.

You and me, we'd probably be smoking buddies, I think. You seem to have a similar attitude on the issue of serious inebriation.

golem - an artificially created human being endowed with life by supernatural means. Not Gollum. Guess that's the power of poetry.

"Lord of intoxication and THEATRICS" is great and the "mad god of the night" I'm sure was here for the American Revolution spirit and maybe different from Bacchus who could be the greek god of wine and drunkardness who no longer finds any entertainment among the preying, soulless rituals of his stupid men like backyard coyotes hunting for small pets so he gave up drinking to smoke himself into a time-haulting daze til the apocalypse wakes him up with winds of change he can hear from his basement cult.

This is a crazy poem. "All of you wish for the god in vain" as if our drinking of brew summons who we wish to play with but doesn't like our calling of him to company empty nights of bad fantasies without adventure and the warm welcoming of returning home to witness another morning.

"through the sidewalks" seems to have a double image as if we have "side walks" we fall into of different character and this works superbly well with the image of Gollum, and wonder, like his good side is who we think we are during our demonic missions.

And how "the weed bestows scrutiny without insight" bleeds nicely to a possible image of a young girl who can't find wisdom in the redlight atmosphere witnessing the cold absence of beauty.

I also like how the word "roaming" seems to be defined inside the poem as an act of evasion, not searching (for something of godly worth).

oh my god, I'm in love with those last two lines.

this has an old-soul ring to it -- very wise -- but also somehow open, too.

I love the use of gleam-golem in the third stanza. It might have been too much if both came at the end of lines.
