What would you do
If you were stuck
Staring at the ass
of a truck All day?
Snot factory
Don’t forget
Life is filled with wonder and joy
Jerking off is only
Toxic when it’s in public
You told me if I drank this
I would remember my dreams
But you lied.
Stammering for a foothold
The world rewards those
who enter it
We are cars on the highway
All I ever wanted was
The best of both worlds
Twenty five years is a long time
For the reincarnation cycle of a fly
The problem with an open door
Is that you don’t get to pick
Your visitors
Twenty five years is
barely
Enough time
For a single breath to exhale
Everywhere you look
You can choose to see teeth
If that is what you need
I am okay with that
There are teeth in
In the wheels
There are teeth
In smiles.
