DAMOCLES, RESIGNED
I’m just worn out
I’m just worn out
By all this eschaton talk
Immanentized by the ones who get to be the last to croak
I’m just worn out
Not to sound hopeless, but let it come
I’m just worn out
Out
Remember when the news was boring?
When we still thought the world was fun
I’m so scared that i feel numb
I don’t know what to do
Everything’s falling apart
Now our end is less an if than a when
I think i’m suffering from end of the world fatigue
Whistling on the edge of the cliff
Wind in my hair, contemplating the end
I unzip my flies and piss into the wind
Remember when the news was boring?
Remember when the news was boring?
Before the death threats started pouring
So many different ways to die
Still building castles in the snow
The sword of Damocles up high
There’s no fighting what you know

Fancy Meeting You Here

FANCY MEETING YOU HERE
Backlit by the angular glow,
the fingers jitter.
Tripping over commas, stumbling into prose.
Six glorious letters appear on the screen
“Typing dot dot dot”
Writing up epistolary storms
of depth and consequence.
Waiting to see what takes form.
Timing is of the essence.
A few days late.
14 years early.
Right on time.
Who’d have thought there’d be space enough for two
You made it grow wider, you made it grow wider.
Let me hold you both in my arms
You made it grow wider, you made it grow wider.

MODERN DISCOURSE
William Burroughs : "Incidentally, the damage to your health is minimal."
Talk Show Host : "But it has done things to your soul."
A chicken, headless, perched on a soapbox, haranguing itself

REVEALER OF FIGS
I’ll be easy,
I’ll be docile.
Such a good friend,
One to stand by.
Symbiosis,
You and I.
What you love i love,
Together we fly.
I’ll flatter your ego.
You won’t know why
You can’t let me go.
Feed me your life.
“You’ve been looking a bit down these days, tell me all about it. Here sit down, sit down, have another toke. Nah it’s alright, it’s on me. So tell me, what’s wrong. Tell me everything. Everything.”
I’ll be your black hole
Drawing you near
But get too close and
You’ll disappear
You can’t hold a grudge
Against a poison
The only thing to do
Is get the fuck out of dodge
I’ll be your friend
I’ll be your all
Come and let me
Be your downfall
“Hey man, it’s me again. Your phone must be broken or something coz you’re not answering. Or maybe it’s low batteries…
Look why aren’t you answering my calls ? I don’t understand, what did i do wrong ? I though we were friends. You used to tell me everything and now you treat me like this ! Like you’re better than me. With what i know ? Don’t think i won’t use it against you, you little shit ! I will end you ! How dare you ignore me ?! Don’t you dare ign…”

CYMOTHOA EXIGUA
I was going to tell you,
But a bug crawled out of my mouth.
I swear i’m telling the truth,
A bug crawled out of my mouth.
I can hardly breath,
I think it’s going to stay.
But anyway,
I can’t remember
What i was going to
Say.
And when i’m running out of words
It speaks in my stead,
Coming up with better things
Than i have in my head.
It makes me sound clever,
Oh can it stay forever.
Forever.
Forever can be a long time,
It talks and talks and talks.
I can’t get a word in edgeways.
It says such awful things.
It’s scared away all of my friends,
I’m alone.
I can hear it at night,
Gnawing at my tongue,
I wish it’d go back
From whence it sprung.
But it’s too late,
My tongue’s being replaced,
It’s chewing the damn thing off!
Please forget what i said,
I was only joking,
Feeling absolutely
Fine fine fine fine fine fine!

NOTHING IS SMALLER THAN TWO
We haven’t drawn breath
For a few weeks now.
Even our beating hearts
Won’t be enough
To lug the carcass
Of who we were,
or could have been,
Through one more day
Of this beautiful mess,
this glorious scene.
We’re dead before it even started.
I’ll miss you so, my dear departed.
So let it die,
Say good bye.
Goodbye, i love you.
I love you, goodbye.
