continues
all around
as you take a step
back
out of the frame
grab your drink
take a sip
sit down
slow down
the lights flash
the bass rattles
your jawline
everyone moving
and loving
and spinning
spitting breaking
shouting *******
--oh, the madness--
and you're struck out
sitting in the corner
as that madness
moves and loves and spins
spits breaks shouts *****
caresses and kills
you can't seem to
get into it anymore
not like you used to
these old legs can't
bear it like they used to
the old heart can't
take it like it used to
everything is all everywhere
while all you can do
is grab another ***** tonic
another one
one more
and just shut up
this is real life
if you're not with it
you're against it
so *******
and **** your poetry
you aren't special
you aren't anything
anyone will read
***** selfish *******
the blur cycles around
you don't want to step in
but i'm right
i'm always right
so step back in
that drink
is almost empty
anyways
