![]() Lock me in a box andA Poem by Ivy
I don't understand why I keep tripping over your remains or how I manage
to guess my way around the rules when I haven't even figured out how to
give myself away like a cheap backdoor deal, let alone kill you in
passing. But the build up is the best; the creation is what makes it
worthwhile; I don't have the patience to enjoy artwork, so I try to drag
out the making of until I have to cut it down dead, because playthings
aren't supposed to talk back. I have a habit of picking up pieces and
sewing them together with my own time, and I never seem to realize how
that's dying as the end. I always jump to page three, instead of
forty-two. I'm a logical thinker, but in matters of your heart, I forget
that I'm supposed to have one. Cut me down before you learn how, and you might be in the clear.
You've got a plan, but you're queued; you'd think in such a long line
of bones that someone might point out that you're too abstract for a
second thought. I would, but my mind is a little weathered to begin
with, so I think I'll drag that goat around for the time being. So sorry for the confusion, I didn't know.
No, I know the answers are kept in the back, but I can't be caught
cheating or I'll lose my place in point. Don't distract me with answers I
already know and don't fling the turned up dirt in my face as if I
didn't notice that I'm not the best at concealing the aftermath. Luckily
or not, I don't know what trick shop my mask is from and I don't
particularly want to find out. Lock me in a box and feed me blood,
someone is going trip me eventually.
