basket case
reaper keeper
the bear marks it
another
creeping
steep snowy
slow day
for the
faceless racists
in the
casket trade

and I asked
which way
this ship
was headed
about
eight hundred
f*****g times
all I got in reply
was some
seven hundred
sick scary
smiles
screaming
it was all
okay
alright
all just
fine so
settle down child
& fall back in line
it's okay
it's alright
it's just fine

& the
believers
drank the
wine
all while I
was
huffing on
the holy bottle
of logic
ether & apathy
I was
puffy eyed
in full throttle
white hot & high
pursuit of
a happy illusion
watching the
delusional
smiling sadists
follow Saint
Appollonia
on the back
of a
fiery flock
of swallows
then brought
that s**t home
for the family
to end the day
always hoping
for aponia
and relaxing
in ataraxy

and no one is laughing
because of you&
no one is clapping
cause they love you
its just
something to do
when they
haven't got the food
to throw
in the
village fool's face

there is no room
to waste

and no space
to bloom

when you wake
at dawn's break
on a day
that belonged
to doom.

What a cascade! The nightmare of reality, a dream that dreams itself into being and is the scariest of all.
This is one good way to tussle with an octopus before biting out its eyes.
