blood on my lips dirt in my hair a smile hidden somewhere in the grimace your foot looks for something apparently hidden in my chest a lung? it's found both of those already - it finished searching you left me dying I guess I should feel disappointed or maybe angry to have been dealt my losing hand but  it's best not to take this silly place too seriously - they said we'd all live forever someday beat back the creeping death with it's sleeve full of aces probably not anytime soon seeing how we can't stop killing each other - once I thought life was something big maybe it will be in time this little joke looking at it in dry, acquiescent humor at least we all still have a punch line - [ba-dum, kssh]
