Give Me Failure
I dont want to
cradle your
head with a
soft pillow,
no more
than I want
to hear the
willow
remind me
morning
is here.
I don't
want you
to believe
that I am
particularly
good at
what
I do,
or have
a clue of
what it
is that I
do in
fact do.
I want to
nestle my
veins in that
there thorn
of your brain,
to pick
and pluck
to swim
in muck.
I want to run
blade first
into what
failure has
to offer,
a warm dinner
with fine dine silver.
I can make you
out with just
your cheek
and toe,
there's a
silence in
your glow.
I never saw
the appeal
of applause,
or **** offs
mimicking
waves,
a sycophant
and her
head full
of braids.
Two excitable lips
were never
better than
the funny
man's quips,
with their
flashy red,
and their
he said
she said,
I turn
my neck.
Shall I make
sense to you?
I am a train
without the
choo choo.
I am failure.
I am pause.
I won't do
what you
tell me to.
