Ampersand, Rotated 90˚ Counterclockwise

     Here I am
          at
    ROCK BOTTOM
            again

                   Death, death, death, and destruction

         Bourbon at 13:00—

     Song helps,

                      a Nobel would do better.

              Hand to forehead,
                                            seated,
                                                      elbows on desk—

         
                      staring, stoned, bereft

    
                           all of the past up to the present
                                      & this is what’s left.
