Animal Dance Parties

The sound of the radio

Tears through my room

And the drip of the faucet

The gold in my tomb

And the song is just

A hymn

Or a swan

It’s hummed over

Veils

And blank stones

With pretty eulogies

Made up of blank white paper

Because we couldn’t say

Anything better than perfect geometry

Blue lines

And red ones

3 holes

5 stars: *****

Good god

A+

You’re a the fulfillment of a prophecy

Self induced

Trauma

It’s just a like cooking a dish

So follow the directions

Hold yourself true

Here’s some things I made up:

Like flying kites, and kissing electric, post fall shakes, pined arms, letting go, making makeshift pasta desserts, the cranberry’s, popular mtv songs, your memories.

 

So cheap so I buried them

And if this is guilt

It’s not heavy

If it’s the clouds I’m the anchor around your ankle.

Breathe deep or bubble up

Maybe sink to the bottom

But this is ********

And I’m let down

By a kids decisions with

All the let downs of a major league game

But the let down of *** wee **** fest

A ten year old in fancy threads

This cat’s talking so smooth

“IT’S THAT ******* HOOKED ON PHONICS”

 

So cool…

So look out because here comes a schitzophrenic with nuclear capabilities.

We gave it to him, with no intention and a foggy head

4am finds 2million and counting charred and burned

Jaws opened wide black melted skin on the linoleum floor

 

But it’s at the bottom of the sea

And I’m buried with gold

And this is swan song

In head bashing

Numbness

Loud noise

And over the speaker it says something like

pseudo indie artsy

 

Printed on torn up coffee cup paper

 

When God speaks he does so without commas

Because he doesn’t need a pause, dramatic or not

 

So if I’m crawling in the dirt and the ****

Sniffing up trash and dancing in the mud

Call me

Rattus norvegicus

 

At least I got my instincts

And as a person

I’m not a fad

Falling in an out of ]heads

When the futures meek

I won’t end up on hipster retro gear

When our 20’s fade

it’s not me looking at the ***** mirrors
