Severed Spine

Victims, please note

I am physically incapicitated--

Or, if I breach my mindset,

Mentally-- however you'll take it;

I am verbally emaciated

When I speak to you

I say ba ba ba

Barbarian, to the Greeks;

I beat me as I speak

With an anatomical iron rod

You stupid freak, f*****g nimrod

Maybe you'll find it a tad bit odd

I freeze--

I freeze and tense

Like a deer in headlights,

The clam that spat out Aphrodite,

Except, it ate me.

What a fright!

Crustaceans can become my lips--

Conditioned to think

I'll sway my hips

Instead

Because the only place

You'll find me free

I perceive

Is in your bed.

 

Leave me for dead.
