Procrastinating on homework until I fall off the 50th story of hell
{{So, my brain preserved in a glass jar: /
I’m supposed to take it out/
& use it as the last shooting star/
I’m supposed to bake it in moon juice/
& inject the remnants of its magic/
in my palms, so you think that’s all/
my brain is good for.}}
I can loop etudes and crack an aria/
on the side of your head/
call it an egg, (yes I’m throwing it at you)/
I’m throwing it at you to sing to you/
that I’m not the only one going to hell.
Fires can burn the soles of my feet/
they’ve already hardened their fabric/
to withstand far worse:/
decayed school bathrooms preserved/
on my shoe, I don’t know why you still/
keep it there when it’s just about dead/
the wall paper crumbling, moaning of death/
there was another reason I threw at you a song:/
because you don’t have any music at all/
in the blood of your being.
