never trust a skinny baker


cosmic dawn

but whatever has a beginning

will also have an end

only nothingness will know infinity

 

no matter how many times

the words may rhyme

i can’t make sense of the last time i climbed

out of your bed on a monday morning

 

sartre was right

we are left alone, without excuse

my love for you was self abuse

but i’m the equation that you disproved

 

you washed away my colors with your rain

showed that only blood flowed in my veins

you were the apple and i was eve

my principles wavering in the wind like leaves

 

are you the sole reason i can spend a whole season

on these dark streets of decay?

that all my actions i no longer weigh

because it is not meaninglessness that tips the scales

 

but the understanding that i have impaled

the heart of anything that prescribes improvement

by any act of unselfishness on my part

mixing science and philosophy like descartes to make excuse

 

to sit here until last call

walk these late night streets enthralled

like a mystic who has unlocked the secrets of the universe

not admitting i traverse for no other reason

then to make my pleasures guilt free
