Heroin Addicted Midget Lesbians

There's no more shock value.

Everything is cliche.

Heroin addicted lesbian midgets

Reside in Vegas.

And we stand jaw agape no more

Than yesterday.



So

Where do I turn

This spindle

When the twirling world

Dwindles into murky blurs?

Where do I learn

When the flame in the sky

Offers no more inspiration to burn?



Or am I just looking too hard.

Trying to find a shard of metal

To pierce myself with.

And bleed out something I'll settle for

Until

Whenever the next high is.



Because

If the sun melts clay

And we're pottery molds,

Maybe it's wrong to become too enlightened

At a lottery expense...

Maybe it holds true

That I am layered into

A lower mold of existence.

But that dung does mix with other elements

to form fertile soil.



Maybe

There's a place for meat,

And a place for cooking oil..

A chemical formula for platinum,

And one for aluminum foil..

A rock star,

And his audience..

Their shoes,

And the ground they stomp so loyal

When the chorus

Steals the spotlight from the verse

And then recoils.



Maybe there's philosophical rhyme

in reason..

Or poetic reason

in rhyme..

Maybe an innate chime in you

Sounds off in me at a different season

In a different pitch..

Maybe a king needs treason

To reestablish his might

With a prisoner's ditch.

And maybe the ham just works with the cheese and

Maybe I'm healthy because you're diseased and

Maybe I'm just fucking sick...
