brilliant lights shine on the blind empty thin faces of nameless blobs dressed in ratty and ripped pants oversized bottoms dragging                               on                                                 the                                                                   floor with the gliterring party favors coozing in my backseat ferile flesh meat someone's forgotten child in the dark with a different name now she             is                           wild a resonance in our hollow heads one, two, three brain cells buzzing trickling sweat pager numbers sticky eyes we have no songs to sing we have nothing but thumping we can't remember a world before this wasn't it always like this we never had standards to meet there is only this call of her beckoning heat my beating heart embrace of the nameless dark envenolpe and remove all the guilt lost in the flowers wilt I care little for rules my tongue is on fire she is all mine she doesn't care who I am we don't care who we are we have nothing this is nothing but at least it is now at least it is ours no one else cares why do we? we are just selfish toorave on......
