STUCK PIG
Gauze pads and makeshift tourniquets
Apply pressure
Cauterization
My imminent exsanguination
Hemophilia
I wouldn't be so weak
Always an inch away from death
If my blood coagulated

HIS OWN GOOD
So we found these drawings disturbing
This one depicts a murder
This one depicts a rape
Has your son been exhibiting
Peculiar behavior as of late
My son may be a little different
But doesn't he get straight A's
Before you judge him on his artwork
Why don't you judge him on his grades
So we found these writings troubling
That kid belongs in a hospital
And observed by a professional
Who am I to stifle the next
Stephen King
Who am I to stifle the next
Clive Barker
Who am I to stifle the next
Wes Craven
Maybe the next John Carpenter

8 to OCCULT
This place has an evil presence
Since we used that Ouija board
I hear voices beckon me in to the shadows
I'm afraid we have opened a conduit
For demons and dark spirits
There must be an ancient trick
For cleansing and banishment
With a stick of incense lit
Round the room in widdershins
Wait until the waning moon
Repeat the word in Sanskrit
This place exudes malevolence
Opened up a cosmic door
I feel forces threaten
The ending of my soul
For what's invoked
Pray gone once spoke
Sananda
Vinasa
Sananda vibrated 10-fold
Vinasa vibrated 9
(Must be an ancient trick, cleansing and banishment, a stick of incense lit, round the room in widdershins)
Joy and Love you are no more
Run
Can't be undone
There's no hindrance for
Where this thing came from
It's all fun and games
Till the beast consumes you

WEDDING GAZEBO PLACEBO
Go figure
Par for the course
I'll always fall for someone
Like I'll always catch a cold
And when recovering
There's no difference in both
No expectations no disappointment
Expect the worst and get the best
Expect best get the worst
Expect the worst dinosaur
All the abuse of substance
Is a substitution
For a hopelessly romanticized
Addiction to love
There's no way to
Manufacture this emotion
But the thing is you can always
Buy more drugs

KILLJOY
Analyze it till it means nothing
Critique it till it's worthless
Then itemize the ways
It could have been made perfect
Examine all of the flaws
Lay them out on the table
Investigate their causes
And assign each a label
Dismantle it now
Take it all apart
Just to fix what wasn't broken
The sum of all the differences
Extrapolating quotients
Dismantle and put it in a polyethylene tub
Soak it in your hydrofluoric acid till there's absolutely nothing to speak of

HOUSE OF SPLENDOR
I could have counted every single blade of grass
Cartographed every leaf
Images magnifying in multiples of four
I am seeing through the eyes of the great creator
All of this matters not
Enjoy this house of splendor
The stained glass mirrors
A home, a church, a religion
Embrace your fear
Just let go
Abandon yourself
Abandon your own ego
Become one with the cosmos

EYEROLL
The way you're talking
Things like plumbing and electricity
Are pop culture
A body of words picked apart
By a semantic vulture
That can’t even patiently wait
For the sentence to die
How does it relate to the
Rights of a female
Where do I rate on a Meyers Briggs scale
I will not be tested or psychoanalyzed
I saved all your donations of two cents
Placed my bet dollars to donuts
That your ideals have holes on the middle
These are straight forward questions
And I ain't talking in riddles
And since you have no solid answer
To my query
I have to take your gospel as theory
I put a fan at the end
Of your hall of mirrors
Logic smashed every reflection
As the smoke cleared
Lacerated hands picking up the shards
Now the blood's on them
I'm taking my fan to your house of cards

NOT IT
Spin around in a circle till the music stops
Stop, sit down
If you're left standing you are out
Take a chair with you
Spin, Spin the bottle
A roulette of STDs
7 minutes in a closet
The only heaven that we'll see
Duck duck goose
Extortion of tigers for fifty dollars daily
Left us with nothing to show
But maybe a cupboard full
Of empty bubblegum dishes
Dirty dish rags on our toes
Not picked according to
Other mothers' standards
When we couldn't even live up to our own
Things like competition and ostracization
Learned from games that we all played in the home.
My mom and your mom were out hanging clothes
My mom socked your mom right square in the nose
What color was the blood??

Behold the key to universe
Vortex mathematics

All and nothing
Vacuum singularity
