#poisoning
Battered, And broken, Blood is my token. Abused, And scorned, Words pricking like a thorn. Bleeding, And rocking, The insane voices are talking. Guzzling, And yelling, His soul she is felling. Dying, Being quiet, A million voices riot: "She was so kind, The best of the best". But I just weep, For I finally have rest.

What's Under the Surface
He died from a massive insult to the brain from alcohol poisoning ; Dylan Thomas I say he was already dead and couldn't stand to go on breathing So he put an end to it the only way he knew how Poisoning : slow , so if your're reluctant you can bide your time and ease into it You know , cross that line between living and dead You can do it and not even be aware that you've done it How easy The only question is why ? But I already know why New York City . . . the where I know : The how The where And the why He was really murdered you know He was condemned by committee Sentenced to death by poisoning There was a general consensus , The refusal to mourn the death , by fire , of a child of London

My Inspiration , Tribute to Dylan Thomas
Put a friendly face on death and make him my friend. Bring diseases curled as gifts, as water on dry tongues, and on health-stain tort in whisked hues that all sing sad songs of early deaths. Bring me daily, hot food on warm plates, stone cold and grotesque. Bring it all briskly to the coffin I call my bed, and there I'll watch myself die. And have the Priest fit on the site of my birth, for I'll be born a dead boy anyway. Stuck with lab venom; your cures at the end of sticks plunged quietly into my skin. All stilted vats of Death in good taste– jet blindness; splash misery for Mothers– Mock execution on mass for nameless rats who'd been held as babies. But now I'm old, old as a child can be without death, how can I breath in such vile brews as the air? Downtrodden clouds roiled by atrocity; roiled and molested white carapace that falls day by day, each onto innocent lungs-aged madly. But what tranquil traumas I have witnessed– on soft eyes and soft skin– on groves I'd though real– and how maybe if I never spend my time here, I can never waste it, for we'll all have drank from the tass before too long.

Big thick finger running through the wood box Medicine cabinet all compartmentalized Afterward, they keep lead toy cars inside of it that I put in my mouth brain melted because even a little bit of lead goes too long away and gives you PA, poisoning
