Hate me. Why not take an arm off? Maybe my arm's already gone and missing. Maybe tonight's the night I won't wake from sleeping. Shame as pestilence incarnate rakes my beating heart and brain. Nails as sharp as shards of memory. I ingest the scent of corpses in a cold storage adorned with limbs and organs, underneath the floor of that burned out/burned in periphery beneath the rain. Sprang up again, arose in sweat, toward the toilet. Some things never change. Will this never change? Hard jobs **** up my night, and I can't rest in day. Hard jobs **** up my day, and I can't rest through night, but I cannot stay awake. What came before comes now, becomes the future, turning loops. The present keeps pace steady, only to slide the Earth below me to prove Some things never change.
