The Silent Evil

By the freak goddess

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

A single metal barhas been shovedthrough my right templeand someone is very kindlytrying to get it through the left.Aren't you lovely?I can hardly move but I'm having deep conversationwith some guy called Death.Very polite.Every woman's dream.The sort of manwho'd work all dayand still have dinner on the table.Meanwhile, a tiny leprechaunis attacking my muscleswith a ladle.Charming.Remind me to do the same for youwhen I can sit up.Some guy named Gravity won't let me get out of bed right nowwhich I suppose is a good thing.Someone get rid of that disco-dancing cow.Who let her in?
