Lifepoems

A cat sprawls its epitaph upon the sidewalk The symmetry of you and your roots Where the grunge and greasy patrons wade Rancid repugnance wafts from soft thighs and liberal tissues And enchants them with its noxious euphoria
As they squat and defecate their worth in the shiny cobbled gutter It could easily be mistaken as being its owners offal True doom is so rarely honest But as stitched wrists chafe against bulbous bellies it is realized again
And pale common teats sag and leak over lapels far out of reach Mumbling as slaver rolls and gathers down, down between your litter And weltering in your zenith as your bequest is lifted from its fast food cup It would have gone to puncture your rash raw groin anyway
What stalls posed by beliefs wont halt the coming of the fleets Engage your syringe and the forged virtue it takes to supposedly innate a cringe The clandestine lives as written so doggerel leave only one line to live it again Survive by retreat. And live with awkward aversion and the terror of being caught.
