Finding sanity
while lodged in the sameness
of the mundane
except for the burst of pain
with its white hot flame
that rips
through the body
scot-free
then she flees to the city
like a mean dog running
angry and off-lead
run bitch run bitch run
just leave me on my knees
pleading for relief
but release is in the dying
and dying is in the bleeding
...me?
just ‘be’
keep my mind
functional and free
focus on time
before the clock stops
by god...
some ooze goin' on
seeping out the hole she poked
some bloke bled out
but this time
it appears
it's me
wait...
she stole my car
while committing this crime
driving wild
can't be hard to find
it’s a Fo...oh!
...forget it...
the curtain draws
the usher,
the lights
no sense lingering
no postponing
no atoning
this show passes
another closing
another night
