she moves like a pause
in a box
i'm a pawn
in a world full of checkers
and velcro heads
a silent scent of ash
like the smell of burning hair
i'm not quite in hell
still stuck here in heck
just a speck
of dust on this planet
this galaxy of fingernails
and razorblades
intoxicated sheep line up
they look like cows
that big farm full of pencils
and notebooks full of gibberish
while you think of nothing
except...
the next time you can taste the syrup
and the meat
i'm glad i'm not in your tent
(i still wish i was close)
she hears an echo
as she drops another eyelash
i catch it
and whisper i love you
i found another strand
but i think i lost it
an intention? perhaps
please forgive me
because i hate you
(lie) truth (lie)
tomorrow is another day
live
the
cliche
