the chair fell from the ceiling to the floor/i'm not sure who put it there
why is that fly crawling on my wrist?/(or as i call him, sweat with wings)

to be invigorated is a bad, old wish/but i sup often at the table of the undead
stealing glances and pocket watch cases/(boy, is my face red)

how many pens can you toss in a cup?/she asked me as i was hanging myself
she told me not to get caught with my words/or they'd cut off my hands to better my health

i didn't listen, but that's okay/i never listen to what once was god
so poetry's saved me and no one cares/with these stumps, let's quit our jobs

SEA,
It doesn't really mean anything. Just me having fun with words, being a poet and all.
