Where were you When the rope snapped Predicate your excuses The vernacular dichotomies of savants and fools These love lessons comparative to Step dancing in a mine field These guerilla tactics of yours Are lamentable My neck already broken By the force of your linguistic blows Etymologically patterned for adoration Love theory wasted on your lap Sanctuary for kittens and babies I bear the distinction derived from years Of practicable nonchalance The inflectional brutality Of casual words Spat out barbs of cyanide We could have ..... forever But I gave you my soul Now the best of me is wasted space Asphyxiated by the torque of adrenalin and ****** frustration There is nothing left for you here Pick up your paper chains And wander home… 121209.

Where Were You?
Where were you When the rope snapped Predicate your excuses The vernacular dichotomies of savants and fools These love lessons comparative to Step dancing in a mine field These guerilla tactics of yours Are lamentable My neck already broken By the force of your linguistic blows Etymologically patterned for adoration Love theory wasted on your lap Sanctuary for kittens and babies I bear the distinction derived from years Of practicable nonchalance The inflectional brutality Of casual words Spat out barbs of cyanide We could have ..... forever But I gave you my soul Now the best of me is wasted space Asphyxiated by the torque of adrenalin and ****** frustration There is nothing left for you here Pick up your paper chains And wander home… 121209.
