all work and no play make jack a dull boy


when i was on the dark streets of decay

i was bold and confident

my lips and my finger saying,

“FUCK YOU!”

 

but since i’ve left

what i have written

is more like,

“can i get a hug?”

 

while everyone thinks i’m still saying,

“the existential aspects of the metaphysical

are so hopelessly devoid of meaning

as to render life as being absurd”

 

frustration communication

“don’t touch me!

no, wait, don’t let me go”

 

i’m beyond going down slow

someone has pulled the plug

and i’m circling the drain

 

i’m told they’ll hold

as soon as i’m clean

submit to the scold

and find the serene

 

oh why and the hell do i search for love

among those that sacrifice two doves

for their newly circumcised son

 

but without your warmth

i shiver and shake

oh jesus christ and for heaven’s sake

do frogs need more than lily pads and flies

you are so ignorant yet you make me cry

when you reject me
