all my desire expired––
i don’t really wanna go to jail anymore.
so i drop to my knees and i beg forgiveness,
but i don’t really wanna be forgived anymore...
a clock’s face––now hey that’s really somethin’
that i’d love to punch-in without workin’ a shift!
but now even eternal rest requires
punchin’ out the stone that’s been sealin’ your crypt…
in gods we trust, in bods we lust
until we’re clods of dust, so… what are the odds of us
being two halves instead of two have-nots?
let’s tie ourselves in knots until we’re the whole-iest!
all my gardening tools tarnish
and everything i love i just end up lettin’ grow.
but ardence ain’t no flame retardant––
that’s why i find myself in front of this barber pole...
at wit’s end with the insults, i challenge
the mirror to a duel, or maybe duality...
it’s time to reclaim myself and honor,
and now––wait, shit, let’s make it two out of three!
and
so my “¡Adios!”es echo,
bouncin’ ‘round the canyon as i cross The Border.
‘mongst lost counts and those tossed out––silence.
was dyin’ then i decided i didn’t reside in
Order.
