Concept 43
..and I thought about the sabotage
paper, rock, scissors,
the triage
a triangle,
**** me with a right angle
I thought the thought away and
some day I may think that thought
again
suicide's the ever present theme
the ****** in my dream
the primal meme
and I think the deed into my Facebook feed
which is cathartic
but just a crazy trick because I know the
deed's still there.
even pimples become mountains in the potholes
which are eyes
and I despise these weaker times
when neither rhymes nor reason can
recompense the lack of common sense.
If this self fulfilling prophecy
is tattooed on my skin and just another
part of me
what kind of god is he?
but if God's a she then it's a payback
for my lack of decency
morality
somewhere in the monastery
the monks
kneel
the bells peal
sadly
I'm still trying not to think of sabotage
maddeningly
I do.
