Replacement
by Conrad Hubbard

I am eating vitamins
as a replacement for a healthy diet
I am using a credit card
as a replacement way to buy it
I am drinking caffein
as a replacement for a good night's sleep
I am adopting curse words
as a replacement for a censor's bleep
I am working hard for a company
as a replacement for my dreams
I have cut back to crying now
as a replacement for my screams
I am drinking alcohol
as a replacement for my sanity
I am writing these words
as a replacement for my vanity
I am assaulted by the scripture
as a replacement for mercy from above
I am eating chocolate
as a replacement for love
with all these replacements
I am not very clear,
just when was it that
my replacement is getting here.
