not like that

i lost my ******* keys like an *******

then i found them on my bookshelf

haphazardly laid about in swoon style

key spooning digital receptor

transmitter

 

on the drunken prowl debts are paid

verbal inoculations

of heart

a boll weevil of the mind

 

 

such thoughts will follow

blindly

without content

 

clouds in the nitrogen reflective sky

bite marks and bruises on my skin

both condensed by mystical thought

as only a proven theorist could show

 

the insanity of logic

is our proof of existence

 

therefore hallucinating long red hairs

the keyboard that is made apparent by the inner hellfire

the so called tortured soul

and the inadequacy of all human comprehension

 

we can bring an end to the idea of symbolism

and resort to the purest form of command

relinquish all hope in control

 

jump from roof to roof

off a moving train

 

escape from that which draws you to your birthplace

end the dying shells

get off the island

stay with your sickness

 

atleast it's trying to leave you
