Grity Tuesday

Sandblasted heat ground into granite skintone 
muscles beaten and torn over broken legbone 
sweat glazed face featureless in comprehension 
too much hell to pay to get an extension 
can't hurt no more, can't feel 
too tired to heal 
and the slambone man rides away 
with your soul on a Grity Tuesday
