Wanna Fight?

its a thick night in July and the world is still there

we’d been drinking 3 or 4 hours

maybe 5

ever do any time? J asked

a little

what was the rap?

nothing much

nobody ever admits they are guilty

everyone is guilty j, I said

the only mercy is no mercy…

What?

do you wanna fight?

I’ll fucking kill you

I guess we better not then, said jack

There are no answers only questions

false laughter clouds the air

there is nothing to forget and nothing to remember

the dead breed more dead

the sea and the earth swallow us all

I am to afraid to look

but when I turn away another terrible sight awaits me

and I have to look away again

that’s when I become aware of my heart,

my throat, my despair, my mind

what’s left of my spirit

That’s when the death wish arrives

that’s when you know that you never accomplished anything worthwhile………………………………

 

 

 

We are all museums of fear.

 

 

So cart it away, nuke the humans

and the cities, trash history

just leave my shoes standing there, untied

the left one upright, the right one on its side

leave it there like that

frozen in time, empty forever

marring the pure open space.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I was expelled from school my 11th year

my English teacher called me a waste of time

but she read romance novels

so fuck her

my history teacher called me a leader

but she couldn’t control her own class

history forgets the soft spoken

my science teacher said I could do better

but so could he

I get paid more then him now

my math teacher told me to put my head down

he knew how to break dance

I liked him

they were all there at my expulsion hearing

they all signed off on me

that day was the beginning of my education
