yell for the mob
your
big angry----------------everyday mob
this mob will reform
{-- regurgitate--}
and unload like a storm
more substance for more abuse

we shall
praise the overwhelmed
for panic and preach
-the dual power of reach-

just think of all the martyrs
what have they learned
and where have they be en
selfishly burning from within?

will you be taken
behind a barn or
a gas station (out of context) and beyond saving
beaten until you lose c omplete awareness
of the safety\
you are obviously un der

for
we the carousel are better off
going in mundane circles
not knowing when they (the rape-less) will cut our ambitions off

theres a need to

tell someone softly
or
these frantic prying
words
might just carry concern away

i think everyone should be

a weak m an
a once a week man
do you ever remember seeing
such a grateful/grainy man



watch and he lets us down
to
carry his cordless hole
everywhere he goes.......
see ms
his salvation
his reason for existing
is a minor view for a minor vision

the vast sound of bathing flames
cares little for our names
its our end just the same

just human

we are not born
we are thrust upon the earth in turns
then
avoided at all costs
i fail to believe anything could ever be this lost


when the fresh meat of tomorrow
me \-e ts the slaughter of today

it wont matter because ill know who i am
and where ive been
i'll know exactly what hole im in

wish (for instance)
for instant
charisma
a lift from

four highlights
of an evening that never happened
we were just religiously bleeding

for once
this head is quiet

spilled upon a lap
sliding beyond
a fake face a fake relief
silence swims
silence tries
eternally grateful
for this silent demise



no longer afraid of the dark or midday shadows nothing so ridiculously teenage and desperate
