strings

na.

despite what s/he might’ve said

when it all began,

there really were

strings attached---

for to make him/herself believe

that one can f**k & walk

without a second thought,

would be to convince oneself that

nothing ever happened &

even with the best s**t on the market

pumped into the veins,

stuffed up the nose or

sucked down the windpipe,

it eventually comes back

like a brick to the face &

the body will remember if the

mind & heart

refuse.
