Polyurethane (Free verse) by Fear of Garbage
Decompression sickness.
For all I've given you, you get nothing.
Obviously, you are a lattice and a spine
and a deconstruction of my thoughts.
Go for it. Run. Take it.
Palpably, you are a man on fire, and then a woman sobbing,
she doesn't know how to sit
or lie down.
For all I give you, you give nothing back.
Little boy, black background.
Eyes like sad trees
how sorry am I?
Have I broken your heart yet?
Pity me pity me pity me please decompression,
money, airbag, scrapbook
faster faster faster and initial.
And you boast by giving me nothing.
I am so worried I cannot sit down. faint,
compact, crimson me up, lather me down.
I am so clean you will not let me sit down!
How sick/sorry/sad am I? What is my prize?
I am owed. I am owed.
So take me, mold me, make me, sell me,
I will not complain.
Let me be the hand that blots the blood.
