Make your bargain
Then cuddle up to
Those stale hours.
Make your bargain
Then cuddle up to
Those stale hours.
Even I,
A strait-jacket
phony
Smiling my penny smile
Kiss its mouth.
Its dull chain strangles
The gasping hide
Of my shoe,
As if that could prove
That I'm not just another animal.
My once wild ambition
Wears a blue collar,
T

d to a greasy dream.

There it shivers
Bald and sick,
Snapping pencil vertebrae
In brittle lament.
