To lobotomize or
cauterize

is this the sequel
or the prequel?

you must confess, this
life’s dyslexic

the more we ‘live’
we see it’s ‘evil’

today started as a good day
giving praise for what God gave

but under blankets
we failed to thank Him

inside His shade
we misbehaved

and if He gave the power to everyone
what did He give to you?

an orphan plagued with misfortune
and no one close to you

so we speak in forlorn secret
to an unborn fetus never bathed

and we call back
down shadowed halls

for an answer He never gave

but when we find Him
we will remind Him
of what He claimed He saved

and we will bind Him
and thus unwind Him
in the bed that He hath made.

Syllables,
three fucking sylla-
bles, goddamn.

This girl asked me
how I’ve been
so I asked her:

you know the feeling
of watching the sunset
by yourself, cliffside
on the last nice night
in autumn, just before
winter hits? I’ve been
something like that

ya know: the human
sauce, the cell syrup
swirled in the middle
of the cosmos flavored
malted milkshake?…

I wish I could tell
you how she was, but
she never responded

I suppose I should
have just said:

fine, you?
