smooth liquidation, good dividends

lash out,
irresponsibly.
look as
hardcore as
it feels inside.

as deviant
during the day
as awake
at night.

rough edge,
rough edge,
roughage.

scars,
cars,
black lines
under skin.

wear your art
heart
start
smart

on your sleeve.
distortions behind
glass. holes
assholes
to fill the holes.

fly in a jar
no honey or vinegar,
buzz buzz buzz
wingbeat repeat.

throw yourself
against the wall
over and
over and
over again,
might get you
out sometime.

holes, needles,
burn words
into your skin.

feel something
with this body.
this body so used
to feeling
nothing,
nothing
physical
anymore. or ever.

back to back-
door rebellions,
window slip

and slick
quick
lies
like silver,

mercury beads
off the tongue,
poisonous,
expanding.

flux licked
lip drip.
quick trip

lights off
lights on
no covers
just coverups.

she drop,
drop,
drops.

pools red
in a fool bed.
dirty boots,
natural roots.

11 o' clock
desk shimmy

in the work chair,
scratch the itch
that's not there.
not there where
it can be...

scratched.

its all in skin,
beneath skin.
buck with a whim,
instead of against it.

it's fly
or die,

but

the ink
runs dry.
