Teaser-act

Teaser-act — LC What’s alive, dead, and witnessing? Me—listening. It’s the teaser-act. A black cat next to a fat fu** Skip under a ladder cause I know the origin of clatter. A four leaf—fig leaf Screw a few, hide the grief Streamline my hairline And unstuck my head fu** I light when the smoke is thick when the veil is dense and the clock don’t tick Like when the omen won’t knock but the shadow still shifts And fate rolls the dice Like the three blind mice— with a different ending. They cut off the tail but the rat kept ascending. While a blonde who*e is trending It’s dissonance we’re spending The serpent got merch and the choir’s pretending, And the curse they rehearsed? It was God they were vending. The riddle’s in static, the silence is pending— I laugh in the mirror while time keeps bending.
