I've caught you like the common cold but I have no interest in getting better spare me the nyquil I'll pass on the penicillin I have no love for codeine your presence is the most sobering thing I know. I miss spoke a few seconds ago there's nothing common about you you're a rare strain of virus and I'm patient zero diagnosis: terminal infect me, corrupt me, do your very worst. break me down into my component parts and return me to the earth from which I came. I have made my peace. I will rise from that same earth, lazarus of chocolate skin a little stronger a little wiser immunized by your viral love to the horror of the world. so take me make & unmake me I would die a thousand deaths by your hands.
