There's no good way
to shake you
your own hand.

My head hurts like hell
each time I bit
the needles shoot up into my brain
and they are hot
the pain is making me flinch
each time
but not as much
as the pain, I will feel
when the dentist
pulls the wallet from around my heart
and counts it out for himself
so right now
filled with painkillers
and feeling a little high
try to block the nerve endings in my head
too many to count
ouch there the ******* thing goes again
might be cheaper to have them all out
and plastic things put in
and cut off all nerve endings.

Our wizened kismet is total exhaustion
Our headroom, now the coffin, holds in-
Our memories that die so often
