lie. go on do it some more. it's refreshing. it's not been like this in so long i have forgotten how it tastes.

like a strong perfume. bitter.

hate it in my mouth

especially when you put it in there
with your
mouth.

sliding it in
sometimes
unnoticed
til i wake

feel like im choking

undigested

matter

tell me again these things that are not true
defend it
viciously
until i see it
and say it
and then beg me
viciously
blame me for having to do it
of course
it's me

and who of my friends
loyal to know the number
is in jail tonight

if there was a king
to him
id pay him homage
with incense and murals
in oiled acrylic blood matter
profess my darkest love
for all things savior and political
save me from myself
o reign over me
the wildest plebeian you ever saw
torn tights turned black from the sky drip tar
keep it all together
to overthrow
at the most unexpected time
