Some things are just hard to say,
so you try to peel the words that
stick to your tongue and you
want to
let them run,
but they're stuck fast and
you gag on them.


some things that some say
rise up and slay you.

'This is the house that Jack built'

Tilt and the whole world
tilts with you and you find
that you don't tilt at all

you still bleed though
and you know that
blood's
thicker
than water.

To drink to forget one drinks
is to think that one drink is
enough.

More of the '...Jack built'
stuff?
