I Just Sat In Silence
misinterpreted colors
refurbish occurred development
it only takes a second
(sh*it is usually measured in irrelevant moments)
it's always a second
standing in front of a choice
engulf the crap or
stream it straight at that mirror
aiming my sapience with furnished bugs eyes
by ease they are pouring deluded circular reasoning
making the bathtub
where I can peacefully drown in
stating how you're entitled to life
the child has overtaken
a role of my backpack
(so I can drown easily)
your child
sitting on my shoulders
while that entitlement to life
is covering my lungs
and mucous curtains
are obscuring coughed words
but I can scrutinize how your brain
is not at the right place
like there’s too much space
and it is out of the ledge
bumping at the surfaces of your skull
still
can’t pacify your behavior
with tissue suppression
too many times
I have rolled over
like a dog
this time
I’ll just sit in a silence
and leave you
by the road
