Some Things Can Be Dirty

some things can be dirty
i never bleach my whites
i dont segregate my clothing
 doesnt keep me up at night

a dozen means to all knowing
abacus back in style
additives just a forefront
how minds are truly wild

some people are okay
yet suffer all the same
my suffering different from others
thoughts construct the blame

i brush my teeth and floss 
wore braces in my adolescence
tested patience, out of questions
if im evasive, end of session

run up and poke an eye
im a fairly open guy
barely here when smoking high
sober my aura coats the sky

 buy used to respect the purpose
 idea of new baiting a purchase
im waiting for searchers
 we can merger
air out, lifted truth to surface

living proof enigma
imperfect pairs of stigma
alerted hairs insignia
inflaming both amygdala
