Running scared
my heart is a chainsaw chasing you in broad daylight but I don’t care who else is playing this game introduced you to the family but you wouldn’t taste from a feast of fiends looking for friends of apples and human meat wrapped in the skin of a snake like a siren you’re wailing as in pain and danger wanting the cops to come calling doom upon the kitchen table why’d you have to break everything we could’ve done?
Arbitrary species
Fireflies of the apocalypse
A cerebral pattern of psychedelic geography both of time and place where the external universe and inner space go where existential dread fears to tread
junkie switchblade glowing
angel gleaming in the backseat
carjacks a Mercedes with a blowtorch
ecstasy itself riding shotgun
peels the jeweled peach as motorized wheels burn a rubber haze
blind singing serial killers hiding inside nuclear clouds
feels like we’ve been here before
voluntary madness
in the time of corona
Something about a dream
Something about a dream…
Something about a gun…
Something about something…
Something about nothing…
eyes wide shut
rapid fire pinballs
the realization that when I awaken- you’ll actually be here
perhaps even real
eyes guided by touch
feeling an image
sculpted by longing
fingers, loves, woods
sitting in a movie theatre
we feed off emotions
factory made
