Fever
i was dancing
on a rainbow
when she called me in to eat
i had no appetite
so i rolled over
and continued to
sleep
my eyes
are haunted
my ribs
are showing
sweating
into my cold
coffee
my dreams are awake
i feel their madness
are the drugs working? i wonder
where the hell did that rainbow go?
i just put on my boogie shoes
my heart
is pulsing
in time
with my head
i need to throw up
i spill my guts
like a south side snitch
he went that a way officer
i think i forgot
to flush the toilet
she's going to think i'm disgusting
my lungs are heaving
with pollutants
burning
cold fire
i need a
cigarette
there is a light outside
my window
i think the rainbow has come back for me
my feet are shaking
i'm definitely going to throw up
