capacitors
copper leads for resistors
limiters
conductors
lead for children’s mouths
a couple cans of asbestos
mostly for profit
building a building atop another building expand to swallow another building three buildings become one a labyrinth inside supposed entryways but no doors one way only not fire safe
way out in ocean at night I see a light that's as bright as fire
the local boat starts its engine humming through going by in the direction of those lights
headlights come around the corner turning blinding me in the factory until they sweep around slide up the road no longer looking this way
mistake a car of a lighthouse
mistake a car for an entryway
mistake a road for a place
mistake a child for a toy
tie your tubes it's better for someone who will never exist
this might be the shit that never returns sit there embraced in god's hands and god can do no wrong even when his children are violated and cold
there is no heaven on earth it's just an illusion in small pockets
expression
how many holes can you dig in the plate before it crumbles how many drill bits and arrows in a rock before it turns to dust
the way to the water is not within any emotion or lack of it
but in the expression of that thing or non-thing
expression
effectiveness of expression
the willingness to live in hope of that expression

Petrified

made petrified so opaque to the bone set it in stone
turn into ash under burning palms wax sealed thumb
the moment it rotted through the pores
crawling backwards through the floor
step on the cake a sinew string bow
steak knife the sun
crime for the soul a freeway of holes
smoked out at the show
animal torture
you get older
full of fluff
isn’t over
dear sir don’t let come to you
you’re found in a road ditch
is it lethal
in abundance general
don’t leave it alone

Take It

in this desert bed I wait for you
holding on to my skeleton like fruit
creeping out of bed in the middle of night
fear of missing everything
all the horses in the way on fire
four eyes are watering
how are we to make it move?
I’m running late but came to soon
I’ve seen it working like an engine that can’t run down
all your dreams are gears and they gotta turn but they’re rusted
a knife for carving not for caring yeah what a fairytale
just tape a bullet to the ceiling that trick never fails
here it comes
I was always dead to you
you were always dead to me
creeping out of bed in the middle of night fear of missing everything
all the kids are on fire they’re seeing everything

Elevator

I put my arm in the door
the elevator from floor to floor
it’s heavy machinery
you push the button it leaves
go back
I know what’s going to come
if only I could be numb
now my limb starts to bleed
I lose my arm at the sleeve
my stomach slips going down
I roll around on the ground
I know you’re looking at me
you really like what you see

seconal
absinthe
kratom ash
table grip
I was always there for you and you were always there for me and that was that
ask again
tangled lead
snl
dolomine
plastic dolls pulled apart
burning by the railroad
better to part ways than be parted
was I ever really there for you
I guess that all things come to an end
razor burn
thirteen
change of mind
dramamine
retinol
masturbate
get scammed
ankle sprain
roadkill makes a redline down the middle of the highway
we used to play dead by the swing set and find needles in the sand
I guess that all things come to an end

Waiting Room
06:26

my love is a vacant chair
my love is a waiting room
my love is a train platform
my love is an empty road
my love is a weathered sign
my love is a rotted tree
my love is a floppy disk
my love is a metal door
my love is an arrow down
my love is a memory forgotten
my love is a nervous twitch
my love is a way to procreate
my love is a choked drain
