It's raining.
And people are dying.
Somewhere. Everywhere.
Nowhere. On television.
And I don't care.
And their life is static
stuck in the waistband
of some dude's underwear.
And he scratches his *****
He's shocked and ****
He calls himself a "God".
He sent his son to die
as a guilt trip
and to spike book sales.
But he's scratching his *****
And his wrist brushes
against his waistband.
He's pinched by the shock
of electic death.
It's raining.
I'm sitting on the edge
of my bed.
Closing my eyes
and pretending
my feet are hanging off
a shopping cart.
My parents are pushing me
and I'm facing my mother.
She looks young enough
to avoid
every thing.
I don't care. I don't care.
There are snares
hitting the cymbals.
And there's
a jazz musician. He's
nodding his
head
back and
forth.
Back
and forth.
I don't care. I don't care.
It's raining.
And we zoom in on God.
And, clearly, I have a vendetta.
Have I been subtle?
He answers, "No."
Did I meet a jazz musician?
He shrugs, "Yeah, I guess."
And the room slows down
to a jumbled vibration.
And he smiles. Smiling.
Smiley-smile smiles.
There is no ******
like the second hand.
It's raining.
I don't care. I don't ******* care.
My dad yelling.
You have daddy issues!!
You ******* *****
And the room slows down
to a jumbled vibration.
What's true is a tumor
and it grows and grows.
It's raining.
Music is the shout
in a raindrop.
The wrists we forfeit
is the church of
an eternal solitude.
And we is I
and the mixture of
animal-speak
that swallows my
brain.
It's raining.
There are joggers
in the park.
Their feet are smashing
the cement.
Slow down.
They don't care.
Then seven billion
joggers enter the park
and smash the cement.
My family is unearthed:
the swallowed inertia
of an undying thought.
It's raining.
