They'd pay for a
Chemical fashion show
but not poetry
but such is their poverty
It's not mine :
The crystal clear aires of a winter night
inhaled into my lungs while walking ;
breathed into the chill off my loins
for on the snowy peaks of society
the men and women no longer
need eachother ; so fleeting are
all relationsships.
I wrote until I
was out of words to write
and then I spoke
until I ran out of sounds
to be with Shú.
To be responsible is to be left outside
for we are treated as animals instead :
It is all a calculation of valueables ;
of things and money, a translation
of words into numbers : contribute
to the wellfare of others children
the futility of fertility :
Then I also read
it so many times to filll
the both of ús
with the missing link
of that style.
But it became like a grocery store to pick
a piece of meat instead of a partner :
for the state pays out for the meat
what it collected in taxes from the
men who was left out in the cold
walking through crystal nights
longing for a fireplace.
