we were born with death written on our arms. you wear it like a tattoo; i wear it like a barcode that god stuck on the ****** cashier yells “NEXT PLEASE” & you try to get laser treatment. smoking in graveyards the clouds sang. we fell in slow pieces. nobody will recognise the tune. god has left us a sign, sign reads: GONE FISHIN’ i hold you crying in his hallway. you started wearing death on your sleeve. i need a new skin; you need to get a better shirt. god is not a dressmaker but instead a lover - unbuttoning the words on my headstone.
