i'm open. tap dancing the border between dead and alive.
life is a screendoor. greet your visitors through tightly meshed wire.
life is a screendoor. flapping in the breeze. no one really knows why
it's there. but it must have a purpose we're sure.
nightfall makes fingerpaintings upon my skin. the pastels and the deeper
colors of remembering. all strewn in splotches across my flesh. night
surges like a broken gasket. engine sputters vomitting up everything that's
ever gone into powering it.
your sorrow is your trademark. your pain is your corporate entity. they
buy your stock. make their profits and then coldly cash in.
don't bother trying to live your life. just let it be.
don't act like life is yours to keep. when you're only borrowing.
