he rots at his window,
a stale cornflake man
with eyes like ****** smoke.
behind his tree bark eyebrows,
he watches the children on the sidewalk
and paints wet dreams
of how they would taste
wrapped around his tongue.
this ***** fingernail man,
he smokes his cigarettes the wrong way round
and swallows the ashes.

he watches the children on the sidewalk
and paints wet dreams
of how they would taste
wrapped around his tongue.
this ***** fingernail man,
he smokes his cigarettes the wrong way round
and swallows the ashes.
