The words are cement that stick to my tongue and the roof of my mouth Molasses is the apathy that oozes from every pore of my beaten body[1] I watched a man enter the bus, the same time, everyday, his wife waited Today she was not there His ring too, was gone[2] I grow tired of writing, as I grew tired of speaking years previous Semantic satiation of my everyday life and I lost the will to live There is no form, or rhythm A shame considering the beauty of language[3] She sits and stares through the wan window and wonders[4] I avoid eye contact, physical contact I refuse to acknowledge your existence Solipsist asshole[5] What does it feel like to **** a man? It hurts.[6]

Drained, Strained, Endless Endless, Endless... Ending, Ended.
The words are cement that stick to my tongue and the roof of my mouth Molasses is the apathy that oozes from every pore of my beaten body[1] I watched a man enter the bus, the same time, everyday, his wife waited Today she was not there His ring too, was gone[2] I grow tired of writing, as I grew tired of speaking years previous Semantic satiation of my everyday life and I lost the will to live There is no form, or rhythm A shame considering the beauty of language[3] She sits and stares through the wan window and wonders[4] I avoid eye contact, physical contact I refuse to acknowledge your existence Solipsist asshole[5] What does it feel like to **** a man?

[1] For seventy four days the solemn man sat silent Protesting the entitled youth and their incongruence The poverty In Mali made him cry anguished tears and the moon was watching [2]Taller than I, with a wry smile and slicked back hair James Dean was envious as our hero shed the jacket and the hefty boots were now clouds as God arrived [3]The English dictionary is a Burroughs novel for the ages Run it through the shredder and begin again [4]Blonde haired princess, tied so tightly and I can smell the nicotine Is my reflection handsome, or as hideous as the truth Please look through me, I'm transparent Transcendent I failed to be [5]I apologise, family, colleagues, people of the street [6][THIS HAS BEEN REDACTED]
