KA - FREAKIN' - BOOM

we all carry a few pounds of explosives in

our heads -

the sniff dog in wait can't smell it -

the sniper on the roof can't get it in his sights

we carry it though - and we saunter

through their detection blockades -

and we can't be stopped

 

 

some of us think it's simply precious cargo -

like some wedding night sheets rolled into a ball and

protected by skull plates - comparison parties with the

girls from work - love the love you own

or like there's an antidote in there - like

anybody ever gets better without blood on their hands -

that designer placebo was tested on runaways

or even an anectdote that's worth a fuck - like i said ,

then he said - and then we said - we said , and said -

and said .... all day - so we can say it again

 

we're simply wired to go bombastic -

that's the only truth that comes -

and at any point we can take out a city block -

with a flippant split decision

we can't help with the same whim - cause

 

 

we're not designed for joy spread healing humility -

we're about the train wreck onslaught crescendo

we can catpult ourselves into someone else's oblivion

and pull all the pins - cutting them to pieces

but we can't give love - without keeping score

 

the flower you picked for your love fucking died -

but the lie you told is still ticking away -

we punish , we bring hell to , we cut the daisies

 

god , we even rape

 

we're all simply eachother's obstacles -

we will clear the way for our pleasure

 

- daisycutters -

 

kill babies so we can fuck without someone

crying in the other room

mother invalids so we can sing about lovebirds

 

uninterrupted

 

set fire to the homeless so you can own them

forever - keep them locked inside the smirk on

your ugly cannibal face

i saw the scorch marks on the pavement and

the twinkle in your eye

i saw the mutts invade the dumpster outside the clinic -

while you humped like dogs - i heard you say yes 

a thousand times

and i saw your grandmother's make-up smeared all over

the pillow case inside the coffee can -

 

don't sing lovesongs about sparrows to me ... it won't

exonerate you - i'll just show you -

there is DNA everywhere -

that's what we're about -

it's on your bed - your floors - your doorknobs -

it's on your lips , it's on your streets - in your dumpsters

it's even in your coffee cans

 

we leave a trail of what we are -

every step of the way

where are the rose petals

where is the pixie dust

where's the fucking confetti

 

 

only in poetry
