Cover
the sky in smoky shyness
Walk
by the water and drowned in another artist’s heavy words
One
line at a time until you climb out of your madness like Spiderman
Stalled
in the everyday desolation of evil flowers smelled and spat out
Normalcy
coopted by orange greed and pistols popping no longer turns our stomachs
She
was a good girl before she started shooting heroin into her apple pie veins
First
worlds are all the shit until they’re not
Third
worlds move up the ladder like a repairman on the take
I’m
just another wanna be human desiring human companionship
Throw
another Molotov cocktail into the unexamined crowd
Learn
to do without oxygen as air pollution cleans all of our grandfather clocks
When
she sat on my face and smiled I knew I could retire my bucket list for good
Uncover
the hallowed ground and wish upon a heap of innocent starlings
Chase
your blues away by opening the window and not jumping to your death
Let
me come to you with only my words and I promise to keep you laughing
