Problems Confined

"PROBLEMS CONFINED"


the !@#$%^ roaches laugh at 
me because they know I’m 
trying to kill every last one 
of them.
the children allow their 
entire family to live.
the security guard walks and
walks waiting for that 
precise moment to catch the 
third child living here.

there are three guys in one 
house and two of them like 
men, the other one gets **** 
for the **** he’s adding the 
tear up to.
I brought problems down on me 
from the father to view.
a whore infested hotel with 
leaky pipes would have given 
me peace.

at this place where it’s all 
gone to hell, we all have our 
hours of sex.
the two tinker bells get to 
walk away from it all while I 
have to hear her.
we sit and allow each other 
to say what is needed.
to date, I am the only one 
who has taken advantage of 
the gag that consumes us 
during our table meeting.

still, we’ve ignored the little 
ghost that lives with us.
I’m not sure why but if she 
tickles my balls at night, a 
few hours of agony I can 
handle.
it’s like a millionaire 
without money but like 
anything in life, the chicken 
can still taste like wood.
