yellow-red

she made me laugh, splinters splitting my sides, dripping all over the sidewalk and
staining the cement heartbeat of the city in psychedelic Pentatonic scales.
i swore i wouldn't laugh like that again, even if someone grabbed me by the throat
shoved a gun in my face and said, "Man, you better fucking laugh cause it's a funny fucking world
and i'm Johnny the fucking clown about to put a bullet in your fucking brain. i'm nobody,
you're nobody and me putting a new hole in your fucking skull won't amount to much
more than a sidenote from fucking Kyra Phillips on fucking CNN tonight at seven
cause who the fuck cares about nobodies?" he says that every night in my dreams.
we're standing in a desert, blood everywhere and he says it.
he recites it like a mantra, screams it at the top of his damned lungs as if someone could hear him.
as if i could hear him. as if she could hear him over my careless laughter.
but we can't hear him cause whenever he opens his mouth all that comes out is the sun-set.

Author notes

it's either the bench or the action, sonny.
you gonna fight for this? gonna fight for your country?
or are you going to drool on yourself watching E!
laughing at the newest shot of that celebrity's vagina?

(truth sounds like...



that)
