| He held her down
|
| Zero is the center of the universe
|
| Purple alfalfa vetch
|
| Small pubescent hairs, sloughed off
|
| How can a man be a man when he can’t what he can?
|
| Wheel of life, rock of Sisaphis
|
| The Open body of a woman
|
| At the climax of organism there is a shudder — mostly felt in
|
| The stomach — almost identical, but less intense than shudder
|
| Experienced at the moment of death
|
| Queen bitch, slut child
|
| I know you so well
|
| You gave it all away, sister-
|
| You gave it all away
|
| But I know your eyes
|
| You’re just like me
|
| You’re just like me
|
| You’re just like me
|
| You’re just like me
|
| Sick, filthy, naked and abused
|
| I’ve seen you all before
|
| 'Cause you gave it all away
|
| You raped your own pride
|
| You put too much slack on your live wire
|
| Saw too many thrills that killed your desire
|
| Too many nights that paled your complexion
|
| And made you a nigga in their conception of life
|
| Just like me
|
| You’re just like me
|
| You’re just like me
|
| See that creep
|
| Couldn’t you just smash his face?
|
| Still don’t understand
|
| What he’s doing in this place
|
| I know I didn’t
|
| When I was him
|
| When I was him
|
| You’re just like me
|
| You’re just like me
|
| You’re just like me
|
| Party til she’s cute a young man’s t-shirt reads
|
| Infinity likewise is a verb
|
| Small stones begin to rise and float on the water
|
| What strange snake is this that can be sick with fever
|
| Are not snakes cold blooded creatures?
|
| Like a crowbar in the vagina, ripping to pry loose the pelvis
|
| Thus are structure and form now wed
|
| In a small cottage, just outside of town
|
| A dark and narrow gravel lane
|
| So overgrown the leaves
|
| Touch a passing car with smoke
|
| Death the life giver
|
| Death the life taker
|
| Death the advisor
|
| Damned are those who think they have befriended death
|
| Death knows nothing of these struggles
|
| Unthinking shadow
|
| Worthy opponent
|
| Challenger of the left
|
| A man stands in a doorway of a room in a small white cottage
|
| He stalks himself using death
|
| Much like a wolf stalks the caraboo
|
| He stands himself, watching himself, waiting for himself
|
| The meadowlark’s call — makes you feel uneasy
|
| The unrelenting march of sleep
|
| Veterans of subconscious deprivation |
