running mornings and
dream people in movies
half language half light.
Tomorrow is John’s funeral.

This is my minute
my moment
Oops, gone!

Anything can happen
if you don’t resist
Resist!

Catch you red handed for trying to creep out
You'll struggle to breathe out
In need of help...

overripe stereotype,
 teletyped an unripe heliotype.

 stipe snipe ripe,

Why is farting out loud considered...

My jagged teeth cutting up my tongue
And the promise...

Violate everything.
Upset all order.
re-stack the cards,
deal me to a world
where my id rules,
rid me of what cares
about right, wrong 
or you.

Or it's gonna kill me.

Three hots, a cot
And lots of shade
No need to work
Nothing to save
No need to bother
With pesky names

So dark and cool
We know the score 
We know...
