Appendages

Appendages They grow up in wardrobes in their place of coat-hangers and are left to develop a certain comfort for dark uniform closed door spaces Occasionally the light of day on a whim may grant them praise and flaunt their curiosity isn't it so sweetly so amusing So like me some may say as scratching chalk on blackboards indoctrinates and be like me and be like them otherwise coat-hangers might begin again And so full to the brim on loves fasting they enter the void of meaning and upon their shoulders trails a hangman's noose better get better or you will lose Everything To recognition born as puppets repeat the same or suffer the consequences be like me and be like them otherwise coat-hangers will begin again It had a mind-gasm once so much so it scared everyone else and under padlock stabbed the curiosity and denounced it as being nothing like me A child becomes the anarchist or an individual to conformities target the appendages of society yes, they grow in wardrobes In their place of coat-hangers and are left to develop a certain comfort to be found in scratching chalk on the blackboard walls of a wardrobes dark interior
