It All Starts Here

If I told you that you wouldn't interpret on your own

Self reliance on a thimble.

Each barb fills cracks of the joints.

Heavy toxins, past breaths sudden gasps.

We are not alone you and I.

I saw you rest a while, teeth chatter.

Waiting to hear a tick of vowels.

Blind, pulled a hair, heart sloshed.

So I drank a bit more.

Rewind a rhythm, brushing at each wink

The gums began to bleed.

Coated covered candy,

Protect it's inner sweet.

Jaw bone click,

as the moon lowered another hour.

Sudden drop, as a hand felt a bit of air.

So I drank a bit more.

Meshed like fish in a net,

all their eyes, beady, looked franticly.

Caught by a net of its own.

It was never meant to capture.

Harder to hold glass

A rubber seal

Nothing swimming.

So I drank a bit more.

Hair brushed, lizard leered

The vowels run stagnate.

Crystal Drool reflected the paper walls

A backdrop of coin appropriate tunes.

The malt tea, ear ringing.

Lips lick every modest thought clean from the air.

What was there to speak of.

So I drank a bit more.

Ride camels, or asses

Ring no bells to say hello

Lights, no, it was the coin appropriate tunes

When they all left.
