Like a splinter of a fingernail
Dirt from the wheels
Gets caught in the silk
Staring at the moon is like
Chewing on a box
Blander than a bible

your shirt is made of cotton
and my words are made of dust
who are you kidding when you speak
from your sleeve
who are we kidding when we try to stay
clean
selling what you breathe
is digging up a queen
sliding like coherency
and boiled with an egg
spitting out insomnia
but hanging by a thread
I can flow like a faucet but it never
Makes a profit
I shine like a shadow
In the middle of a void

While free, bleeding only
Gets grief , relief
Only comes with a number
Of prescription
And a price of addiction
Which is covered by insurance
And assurance that youre well
But the shade of your complexion
Only reddens like the veins in your eye
When it scans like a fly
For a drink to drown the arid
Reminder
That you are only alive
As long as you cant feel
Real, and appeal to seven of
The opposite sex
At once, and for once
Laying in the road seems like dreams
Come true , but you
And many others cant tell
What is a dream
What is real

And while my love feels like a ramble
And you spin with the mark
Of a question floating over your head
Know for once its unfiltered

Call me pretentious doing overdone
Flailing like a lost child
Blinded by the sun
Rhyming with an A
Then B like honey
Sticking to your cavities
Criticize it, just know
You do so
With imperfection.
