PORCELAIN AND TILE TO DEFILE FOUR JUNKIES

You cannot imagine what I see
Unless you are exactly like me
Friends like yours die and that’s the rub
But many of mine have died in my bathtub

Just two junkies sitting together on porcelain and tile
There to defile the temple of my body I read about in some Biblical babble or...

Aite and Dolos have whispered
instructions.Her words wish me to 
deceive him.

Then Aite said to Dolos.

sometimes, good things pass
spilling like wine from a glass
you hurry to contain it too fast
and you miss the drops on the tile

in a vision that was...
