This Cancer Of Mine.
I will build a house for us
and construct a door to nowhere
through which we can live and think and
die alone in harmony. I never understood
why we climbed the stalks so elegantly--
corn spiders awaiting ergot
spindly legs and sewn in-between--
I've feared your eight legs and eyes ever since.
you walked methodical and ravenous.
I think you destroyed me, you and your posterity.
But I've forgiven you. Everything and all of us.
...really, no, no....
When I'm sober enough, I think I might quit.
I think I might think this is enough, but there you are
tainting the earth with your poisons.
I want to suck it in, I want to explode.
I once thought I could solve the universe
by calculating the expenditure of energy
in each given locale, and
I'm sure I was right
but
I'm already out of it. We're already dead.
There are exceptions to every role
played throughout this short history
of narratives and tragic
blends of genes and molecules.
I sometimes think that this earth is mars
space-time bent to see our future. I can't
help but see the future as a sandstorm
eating the skin and soul of our
immaculate conceptions.
I wan...y..u to k..ow I ..... ... .. you,
I want you to know I drank because I had to
feel alive or... but you know
God you know
