Imposing Timelines

Slipping away from lips Pushing syllables down devices Listen now for repetition Tires the sobbing minds that consume hope. Ripping through Kleenex boxes Craving for the transformation Of the environment's filters Stick out from the extroverts. Relapsing into treasured and agonizing Scenarios, collapsing to the ground Buried beneath false pipes And dripping water fountains. Analysis of health states That the only wellness left Is spirituality, eroding False beaches, pretending to be needed. Pondering the journeys missed How "life is so sad" When gravity grasps you, as you clip Your toenails, he watches strangers stare. Indescribable malice captivates breath From the inside, puncturing pitiful intestines As you think about him Thinking about anything but you.
