try playing air guitar on the
breaking wheel--you're certainly not
rock n roll sweetheart.
spat out by silence & apathy alike, you
hide under a bed--with a wanna be girl's
voice, reprimanding nightmares to play
fair.
hold your ears & grit your teeth--harken
back to the number of fruit flies you've
rescued from speedy oblivion.
it'll all go away just for you, again--no it
won't.
the sidereal undoes the bandage around its
eyeless sockets, looks under your bed--cross
at seeing you clearer than ever.
