When the rain stops
And the humidity sweats window glass
And you can see the yellow dusting,
Know that my cannon comes loaded,
And primed for internal combustion.

In one sniffle and wheeze…
Achoo!my cannon bursts
Leaving gross residue

I think I need Benadryl and a nap.

I’m hanging by a thread,
My nose is a river,
Blood honey,
A rush of color collapses upon me
I can see the burgundy mix with the neon
I’m dancing in kaleidoscope fractals.

When the dark overtakes
And the veins begin to ache
This is when you want me most.

When my tears run dry,
When the night claims my pride,
When I can no longer see the light
Sensitive eyes shriek and close
As the sun burns my hold on reality,

Isn’t this the only way you love me?
