Discordant Modality


EATING A DOUGHNUT
CAN’T DO ANYTHING QUITE RIGHT
I DON’T NEED A RIDE
YOU CAN SHOVE YOUR DISHEVELED LIMO
UP YOUR DUCKMAN ASS

THE DOUGHNUT STARTED TO TALK TO ME
SAID I WAS A PRETTY GIRL AS IT BIT INTO MY BOTTOM LIP
AND SAID HOW DO YOU LIKE IT YOU SON OF A BITCH
AS I HUNGER FOR HIS DISCORDANT MODALITY
BECAUSE THIS COFFEE AIN’T DOING ME ANY GOOD

NEVER FORGET WHEN MY FATHER DROPPED THE
SUITCASE DOWN IN FRONT OF ME AND SAID EITHER
YOU LEAVE OR I’M GONNA BLOW MY BRAINS OUT
AND ALL I COULD THINK WAS HOW HIS GREEN EGGS AND HAM BRAINS WOULD LOOK COVERING THE WALLS

PEOPLE SEEM TO BE MAKING LESS AND LESS ALLOWANCES FOR OTHERS
IT’S AS IF THE ENTITLED AND SELF-RIGHTEOUS HAVE BECOME THEIR OWN SUBSECT AND I AM FED UP WITH EVERYONE GIVING EVERYONE ELSE THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT BUT ME
YES IT’S TRUE I DO OFTEN FIND MYSELF ARGUING WITH THE WORLD, BUT
THAT HARDLY MEANS I AM THE ONE CONSTANTLY AT FAULT AND THE CRAZIEST PART IS PEOPLE DON’T BELIEVE I SEE MYSELF FOR WHO I AM WHEN IN FACT I HAVE BEEN SEEING MYSELF QUITE PLAINLY AND QUITE RECKLESSLY FOR AS LONG AS I HAVE BEEN BREATHING IN THE INNOCUOUS AIR

EATING A DOUGHNUT
KNOWING EXACTLY HOW IT FEELS “TO BE WITHOUT A HOME, LIKE A COMPLETE UNKNOWN, LIKE A ROLLING STONE”
AND I MISS WHEN YOU’D HAND ME A JOINT AS WE SPIED THE ENORMOUS RED MOON OVER THE CAUTIOUS HORIZON, BUT I’LL SOON GET OVER THAT BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH I BELIEVED WE WERE FRIENDS YOU OBVIOUSLY FELT THAT PLAYING MIND GAMES WAS MORE IMPORTANT THAN GETTING DOWN TO THE BUSINESS OF BONDING AND MAKING UP FOR EONS OF LOST AND IRREVERSIBLE TIME
