How to Reach Me

Finish your thought

And I’ll tell you the problem

It’s shitholes still saying

This nation is great

When there’s so much more human

We have on our plate

Merely trends gender spenders

In ongoing races

To get to the bottom

Of cash system’s classroom

Outcaste standard test

Makes a mess of the cost of care

Valued at less

Then a greeting card, chocolate box life

Kind of rose

When it paints way more senses

To feel the red prose

So keep toying with nukes

Like your insolent children

I play with the matches of infinite wisdom

As self-absorbed saviors of lovers unhappy

Pretend that they know what “in sickness” could mean

Why define “My Immortal” American dream

When I know you ain’t seen every scene on the screen that I’ve seen

But you know I believe that we both like the show

So keep watching the clock go right out the window

And go head over Helios, stop and then think

As you drink in addictions they’re making you sync

And then spill ‘em in history’s permanent ink
