Alcohol Virgin Philosopher Kings club meeting, 7:30 sharp with homework\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

and unsettled melodic war, all cacophonous in the background<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

and you\u2019ll wish you were hitting weights with your other friends instead<\/span><\/p>\n

and secretly you wish i\u2019d repent for existing so freely.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

the heated handle of a scythe is beating against\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

my temple. it\u2019s 7:45 but the moon still shines\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

on an empty chair. it projects a cavernous yellow,<\/span><\/p>\n

like a warning signal to our purgatorial fellowship; is\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

that me? your cruel imaginary body facing me, while i<\/span><\/p>\n

hover like a mechanical moth tethered to a string wondering<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

which of us is insane. my body accepts one god, curls its tongue<\/span><\/p>\n

under a single theology – my heart, the one<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

i have been told to disown, accepts two. you\u2019re a funny man,<\/span><\/p>\n

you know that? a lasagna, actually, for one multilayered<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

and then buttered up and convenient therapy<\/span><\/p>\n

when my devotion swallows you whole. but you\u2019re<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

a sinner too; we said 7:30 and you\u2019re always off\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

the grid. waiting becomes grief, and i\u2019ve truly gone barren.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

if i\u2019m not time infinitized, how do i make it here? how do i sin<\/span><\/p>\n

in your name with such conviction?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

it\u2019s an option i have to lie supine and public on the kitchen floor\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

and make snow angels. tactics are easier than shredding<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

wallpaper for serotonin; i am a lonely strategist with\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

nothing but lifeless being to love you – yeah. it\u2019s –\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

i could leave if i wanted to.<\/span><\/p>\n
