—WHERE YOU STAND DEPENDS ON WHERE YOU SIT

 

Which Is Why

 

I’m in the main,

got these

bruised knees

and not much else,

squares turning circles

circling around me til

I’m dizzy and don’t know it,

which is why I’m

so comfortable

with the dark.

Don’t tell anyone,

don’t speak much about it,

a lid’s a lid for a reason.

People are gonna paint you,

it’s what they do,

can’t help themselves.

Some wood-makers

make caskets cause

that’s all they know.

Some villains take

a piece of you

with their (….)

and a paring knife

cause that’s all

they know, too.

When I see you, I’ll

wear my plastic mouth

and knife-point dimples.

I’ll laugh and snort at

all your funnies, keep my

eyes trained on yours,

which is why

you’ll never know

how weak my bones are

and why they

won’t stop weeping.
