"Life's a..."

and then you die

 

'cause that mean doggie

done turned tail

and bit you

right in the buttocks

gnawing her way

through to your heart

and spat it out at your feet

 

good girl

 

you said

'cause honesty is of utmost importance

and she's harmless really

 

didn't mean nothing by it

 

except to remind you

of how less than nothing you are

like we could pick up zero

piss on the mud

dig a little deeper

and there you are

crouching in the negatives

 

like a mouse in the bat cave

 

they can sense your whimpers

makes 'em hungry

sends 'em all a-flutter

like ding ding lunch is ready

but they'll only play with you

until they find something better

 

'cause you're nothing...remember?

It's all just really fucked. Life is strange and has too many
a*s bites that aren't mentioned. It's frustrating, but I think that
even the people who are something to someone are nothing
to the next so maybe we are all just nothing in some strange way?
What's really fucked up is that most of time time, those a*s bites
are sort of our own fault.

brutal, very brutal. but not brutal enough. i think youre holding back, i say let it rip. say to f**k with form or flow or even basic comprehension... just let it rip and see what happens. this one its as strong as the last one, dont hold back. zig

Necessary. Completely utilitarian. Because sometimes the words must be said. I agree with kortas, it's a solid piece of writing. I love the analogy of the dog.

There was a local story on the news lately. A house pet chewed the toes off a paralyzed man. Of course he didn't know it until his caretaker noticed. When asked if they would get rid of the dog he said something like 'no, it wasn't the dog's fault, he was only playing.' Gross but I thought of it as I read your words.

Bitter, wholly unsentimental and uncompromising--not that is necessarily a bad thing, understand. It is well-put together--the flow of the piece is really very good, indeed--and the images are powerful and unsparing. The piece is certainly unrelentingly bleak, but that doesn't prevent it from being a quality piece of writing.
