Little Fires

Coughcaw-esque

glass and asphalt on the roadway

a man gets robbed

a butterfly flaps it's wings alone in a forest next to the burning bridge we'll cross.

little fires everywhere

i write because i value writing

i want to be bejewelled and valuable.

so I'll copy and lie

i'll go centerstage and hide.

the loss of a cacoon

and something else that sounds cool

pain for art

and anything for the arts

check the mirror

it's a reflection of ourselves

we are all born

and we are all born crying

make fun of those making fun of those making fun while never having fun

little fires everywhere

flocking nouns brought to the adjective noun

it's dark and damp and wet and dry and bright

something bad is happening somewhere

and i am writing this

little fires everywhere

writing is fun

writing this is fun

i prefer it to small talk

and talking about the things I've seen recently

it has the posture of meaning

and yet there is so little

and that self-awareness, above this line

makes it smart

this isn't stupid

it's deep

cause it's stupid

and that makes it serious

nothing is anything is anywhere is everything

that line doesn't mean anything

until it does

to someone, somewhere, sometime

hehehhehee

hoohoohohoho

ahahahahahahh

jajajajaajjajajaajaj

little fires everywhere

a line that represents theme and structure

written by someone who knows nothing

someone who does a puzzle starting with the outside

cause that's the way my grandma taught me.

but i never finish the middle

a little fire here

variations on a theme make something impactful

the piece that doesn't belong in a pattern that doesn't really have rules

everything's a pattern eventually

put that on a t-shirt and smack someone's a*s

I got no style and I got no class

so don't stand for the sadists of this life or the last

it's the deal of the plastic to the massive fascists

the molasses of the slow masses

churned liked butter

bubbling like a soda

tastes like sin

and feels like the way everyone loves a christian allusion

maybe I should replace the 'a' with an 'i' on that word

or not

i dunno

i dunno anything

if there's anything to know

i'm mindlessly writing right now

to beat some kind of word count

to better my competitor

and seem like i was always a deep writer for the future that looks back on this

to prove something to me, them, and anyone who listens to people with nothing to say.

little fires everywhere

their heat is cold and their light is dark

their love is hate

and their fuel doesn't make it run

the piss and burn of the lantern's oil

grazing already burned skin

has nothing to give

and nowhere to live

it's destitute

little fires everywhere

little fires right here

Humans are gross. Crows and ravens are better, they admit their addiction to carrion.
