#self-absorbed
Sit right down let me tell you what we serve You might think it quite absurd But we only have just one dish And it might even be what you wish But apathy is our only course I hope that is your choice It's very easy to prepare And everybody can have their share If you don't like it we don't care Empathy use to be our greatest cuisine It really was quite supreme But serving it was such a pain And to admit it we are all just to vain It took to much time And it didn't pay a dime We had to layer in the flavors Of truly caring, love, patience, and of course life savers Who has time for all of that, not us We don't need all the fuss For we only care about our own To care about strangers we're not prone Your tears we care nothing about So just sit over there and pout For we only serve one thing here.......apathy We are to self-absorbed for.......empathy

The Dinner
Stink up the beer house with unadorned putrid self-thoughts. Poppy-eyed and hating others is easy for blue bottled buggers. A sweet thing for you! A growing circle of six-legged empty. Filled to the brim with puffed up space. A white brim with a shiny red exoskeleton. Oh, what a dreadful sight! Hair strewn across a face and hooked into the teeth of the blushy lullabied insect screech. Clear liquid not blood, but blood all the same on an empty stomach with full vein-shot bones. Not milky bones with calcium-love.. A dead, deficient, cracked, neglected, insufficient skeletal frame, limp. Yellowed with hate-smoke and old book notes. Splintered, crazed and buzzed through the gridded bulging eye-window of every single one of those insect like Self-Loathers. Chosen out of pure sympathy "We should talk more" .......To the sun, the moon and the stars? Every star mocks, Every beam scoffs and every moon likes to deride on the pain that hides beneath the lies of human bug eyes. A simply formed pound of vertebrate flesh leaks soft plasma on the scaly moth floor. Oh how we are dusty and unsure! Forestry consisting of a Sitka Spruce and of a Japanese Larch was a claim I made from the start. Over gardens of attention arachnid lurking selfish bugs and even those half winged "friend people". The bell has rung the scariest of chimes and with every soul wrenching 'ding' a furry fang digs at the blotchy eyed, softly fleshed girl. Oh such a sweet thing to be surrounded by selfish bugs who spin webs with tear stained tissues!
