to drown (10/10/2015)

fuck each other ugly
milkfed on an authors' arm
drip-bled from a tourniquet
tied ink ribbons end to end

swollen veins gone vericose
herniated heroes turned adipose
doctors' diets, beach bronze
catacombing self doubts
checking out of comfort food inns.

name me famous like an animal
namely maimous: Raw the Cannibal
pitbull terrier so terrible
but it's not the breed that bites
the posts of princess beds
homestead hunger provides:
makes for driveby daily bread.

sharper teeth drawn up colloquial
shit talk spake Shakespearean--
iambic pentagrams, a shrug
"I'm bored issall"
demons and djinns roll
dazed on dice, drinks and wherewithal.

our
great
our
dead
our
war:
is tugging to images in our own head/spittin on dishes, waxing fertid sleds/fortin christmases boxed in/and out and in and out/ sliding slimy serpents poles flavored like raspberries/makes us cry the sound of doves in traffic / littered as vermin / free to be chained to whatever our chains of choosing might be (choose nothing)

cause my god thinks my jokes are funny, but he doesn't have the money
to buy out a wretch like me.

So favore avore mi Johnny.
Don't belong to anyone but you.

phew.
thanks.

nonsense needed that great wash of idea garbage

Once again brilliant. Love all the lines but especially the first.

this has got me rereading ATDI lyrics now. i'd forgot how good they were.

neutered is the vastness
hallow vacuum check the
oxygen tanks

its taken me three reads but im down with it. i dont know if you know/like him but this reminds me a lot of Cedric Bixler-Zavala's lyrics for ATDI and later The Mars Volta.

There are bits in this that i love, such as;

swollen veins gone vericose
herniated heroes turned adipose

milkfed on an authors' arm
drip-bled from a tourniquet

and

fuck each other ugly

which is genius.
