Kitchens closed





How in the...

          how in the...

               How In The...

                              HELL!!!!!

        ...do I go on?

It's just a skip to oblivion

and I can smell 

the cooking from here

dinners waiting

and I'm starving

sure to never

have another square

if you can you spare me

please spare me 

and throw me a dime

can you please

just don't have time

kitchens closing

and I don't got mine

kitchens closed
....kitchens closed!

...but if it's closed,
then why the goddamn line?

Can't Win





You know the storm is coming
the storm comes every day
masks come off at sunset
then there's hell to pay

mild as still waters
for moments-at-a-time
but built-up she reaches boiling
not bottled inside
flash
cork pops
can't win, 
come sunset

the wrath of a thousand cretins
howling in her head
no room for hollow excuses
while dealing with the dread

shriek your witches' howl
bay at the fading moon
matters not the reason
the end will be here soon

dear lord...

the end will be here soon.
