TEXAS (it's all big)

I am insignificant
A magnifying glass scorched my heart
dripping plastic fried the sunshine walk
And once I learned of My triviality
My multiple-choice none-of-the-above who-was-he existence hangs out    here
I did not all-of-the-sudden blink-of-the-eye
Itsobviousthateverythingisconnectedbuthow?
become infinitely more the wiser
I did not wear socks up to the knees
At the funeral where the sign read melting away
melting melting melting
melting away
They close casketed my only desire-
to shock the world with my inner self
