There’s a corner of my basement I can see it from the couch It’s a doorway of light Opening to a stairwell A light is on near my bed It’s small A phone perhaps I have headphones on So It’s hard to sleep comfortably I like to nestle my head into the crook of my arm I stare at a worn down drop-ceiling Those two lights are on either side of my vision I keep waiting I keep rolling into the cracks I’ve had to adjust the cushions far too many times A smile A warmth My eyes I don’t want to swallow The jar is closed Pandora’s box of light opened while I streamed blues on Pandora And I see the lights go static They bend into each other in the dark I wave my fingers in front of my face I’ve probably killed a few brain cells here Definitely. Sorry Mom I was bored and rubber cement is only 3.97 I’m drunk on a cleanse from oxygen I’m sure my nostrils will thank me later My brain could use an adhesive Flexibility would bond loose ends And repair the divisiveness I have my hands in everything And I can’t remember the last time I stepped in dog **** But a hand in phylogeny is a backhand to Baptists A hand in salvation is a slap in the face to the Darwinists I love everyday I have a toast! To the moment the rapture brings about our extinction my friends! At least everyone thinks I’m stupid. Right in the middle of the room is the right place to be A bullseye for stone chuckers and monkey ******* A hand out for the druggies And a jab at the churches who aren’t doing anything A round of applause for cruel irony And a finger turned up in a creative way to everyone who’s laughing at the episode Vishnu would have a hay day And I could use the extra hands. Jesus’s are tied- I mean nailed up at the moment But when miracles don’t happen anymore Go read first Samuel, and you’ll see all this **** went down before And there’s another cycle History repeats itself In through the nose and out through your mouth Just keep a nostril over the jar And don’t die
