Grab the tip of your tongue and say, "I was born on a pirate ship."
Well?
It's supposed to sound like, "I was born on pile of shit," an immensely enjoyable trick for the eight year old me... I'm surprised you've never heard it.
It's not true, by the way.
My birth. I wasn't born on a pile of shit. Not unless the Naval Hospital at Camp Lejune in Jacksonville, NC is one, because my mother certainly isn't one. The state itself, the country and continent, nay, the planet itself- none of these are piles of shit.
I'll allow for a possible petrified poo or two laying unseen beneath the topsoil upon which the base was built but beyond that, you'll have some convincing to do.
As I sit here with the TV on, my pants off, and the evening's empty syringe standing up on my thigh,

Love, internal dialogue, unspoken

That little word

Desperation? Unknown. Do we, who be shooting stars confounding reason... do we, in our embittered march toward the "center of the maze'... Do we, with our painted lips and perfumed tails a'swish in longing... do we, whose dreams of fucking in the rain pay hearty tax to each day's pain, in dewy promise which you'll maim ... Do we just defeat ourselves? Does dusty drawings on this shelf, those cries for help we've made in stealth, the way you did not get the wealth of affection paid with health... Defeating all my Wiles with a damned disease, I am become a junky, dis, a disease, distancing, disastrous habits copied, why, it's seemingly meant to say bye... Does defeat live in my eyes?

Sleep

Half a mind to poke a hole
Tear a road into the fold
Strongholds falling
Where's her sea
Scenes of dying planetary
Joyful noises hit the node
Split with Adam's righteous tones
Children's children's
Dreams have fled
Now with you here in my bed

TRUST ME

Principles you write to me
A play thing's trainers don't fit me
Watched my words enter your eyes
Sighed all thankful
Then I cried
What the fuck is new tell me
All emotions spring a leak
Roadmaps washed upon my cheek
Legend has it
That's where FUCKED belongs
Cherished stories such as these
Caused your martyrdom
Trusted in my WHAT?!
But it's all gone

TRUST ME
TRUST ME

BABY WHERE YOU BEEN
TELL ME

Now
TRUST ME
you see
I'M FUCKING SLIDING
GASHES
WHEN
I END THIS

SONG

now you lay me down to weep
How truth will echo back at me
Strut the talk
You got this man
Now no worries
Now I free your hand

Trust me to apologise
Despite genuine alibis
Think the grade was way too steep
To drag my trusting heart
while it's asleep
