I’m trying to ask myself
As the words spill out
I’m trying to ask myself
How in the hell did I get here?
In between these legs of yours
I’m entirely sure I want to be here
Above and below and everywhere
You’re getting ready to leave now
As you step about the apartment avoiding ants and pins
Weaving through piles of clothes
The silhouette I see becomes less and less appealing
And the screams grow louder and louder
And the shower seems to drip in time increments.
I hear the drips go one two one two
Is this one from Abbey Road?
Impure
When potency is an issue
It’s important to stay pure
When sincerity is dire
Go the extra mile to care
When scrutiny is necessary
Don’t be afraid to give it a second look
Because the world is one great big scam
The earth will always turn it’s back on you
The earth is always first to turn on you
Even before your dearest friends
So stay cool
And stay true
Don’t peep where you’re not desired
Desire is always pure
Isolationism
I couldn’t remember the last time I’d been truly alone.
And Frankly, I needed to.
(I mean, we’re talking serious fucking isolation, man.)
I don’t like watching television alone very much
So instead I try other methods
Days droning out on a back porch
Staring blankly at a computer screen
Trying to figure out what word choice will sound more
obscene. I bashed this notion straight into my brain stem,
as I walked through Brush after brush of evergreen particles
You’re always either inside or outside
It’s good to sit around and be idle
And miss a few classes and some appointments
And smoke a few roaches
These days though, with the war, and gas prices, and
evangelicals. It is my recommendation to go into extreme
isolation.
