The Middleman is at the start with a fistfull of pockets. He walks more than he talks it, with empty hands. Orange Peel knuckles; peeling, showing A segmented truth. He mocks it. Wholly revealing hisself with waterbottle lungs, Breathing, squeezing; knuckles popping cracking, rabble-rousing- The Jenga game of a rib cage - - sounding skeleton and shouting - As the beating heart un-falls apart Unprotected, Uncontained. By what unscrutability can a pure heart be blood-stained? As his vain-ed cadence flows below the stone The stone; a frame, posed. Humble, yet reigns. Like, the middleman comes to the end and By God! Someone's killed the messenger, By God! Inadvertent Changing channels, all this static passive staging Battles A rib cage match like unintended, homicidal rattles As spinal shivers, the Middleman Delivers.

The Middleman
The Middleman is at the start with a fistfull of pockets. He walks more than he talks it, with empty hands. Orange Peel knuckles; peeling, showing A segmented truth. He mocks it. Wholly revealing hisself with waterbottle lungs, Breathing, squeezing; knuckles popping cracking, rabble-rousing- The Jenga game of a rib cage - - sounding skeleton and shouting - As the beating heart un-falls apart Unprotected, Uncontained. By what unscrutability can a pure heart be blood-stained? As his vain-ed cadence flows below the stone The stone; a frame, posed. Humble, yet reigns. Like, the middleman comes to the end and By God! Someone's killed the messenger, By God! Inadvertent Changing channels, all this static passive staging Battles A rib cage match like unintended, homicidal rattles As spinal shivers, the Middleman Delivers.
