The Number Six is in Style

Folder: 
American Ritual

I keep seeing sixes

listed on businesses

and residential districts,

dilapatated drug dens

where the dry wall cracks

on addicts with sporadic behavior

much worse than alcoholics,

we fit the bits into collets

to drill out our teeth

and stuff them under our 

pillows to fall fast asleep,

 

sixes and riches

fall hand in hand

like star crossed lovers

in an abandoned land,

give me a band and van

and I'll pump out this message

until you make a stand

or at least come to hum it,

 

mark of the beast,

devil's diction

dabbles in the rarities

save depections,

marked with that same six

is a sister 

walking the street you try

to resist her

but pull out your wallet and

Unzip the zipper,

Jack the Ripper

never raped the body

just the soul,

I'm a burning fire that

you'ld like to stoke the coals

until there's a million

more evil rolls

of a gambler's dye

to give the devil his due,

 

Who cares to wager

and wait that 

we'll come up sixes,

I do
