the old city's full of mannequins if any gently stir theyre shot the air is burnt and acrid sparrows silented, laryngitis clots jelly leaking holes jammy agape new mouths leaking horror our bones shatter then stomachs wither oligarchs wallow in in profits from the slaughter the same piano line screeches thinly and tinnily for the thousandth time entire days fall away wall-staring on the vacant crisis line miss take misspeaks a missile hurled from fanged peaks let them dismember the scapegoated poor the luxuriants can stay safely ignored silouhetted skyline of broken buildings jutting like jagged gnashing teeth the hungry broken city swallows everyone and sluices digestive juice at me im a mote a speck of dust and im floating far away x4 ----- a playground for the bent-neuroned only ever testing their desensitization to death numbed as the fly the freezer door closed in a blurry unreality leadens each step every pace forward crushes a mouses spine leeches coiled round gums die with each spoken line every bite eaten, a shapeless mass wriggling every being living beneath a gutted torso ceiling we cant guillotine the responsible theyve retreated to the lunar domes robot police scoop out and mail our kidneys we can only murder in our homes sometimes I stare at the ground and pretend im a speck of dirt they will be watching and we will be dying im an emotionless mote not inundated with hurt CH: im a mote a speck of dust and im floating far away
