The Mirrorbox

Particles,
  Icy
Falling on my critic-perfect world
A haze of disjointed colors
Fog of blurs for days
And leaves hitting the floor like tap water
Into a clenched open,
bleeding mouth
Broken jaw, so numb
Pulsing

And my mirror-box face
Reflects your world of hate
Control freaks shattering
The impressionistic painting
Of the American Dream should-be

Cockroaches peeling free
From their lemon-cream pie
Prison
Apes fucking in the wind
Cold, shattering glass
Sprawled over your floor
Feet spitting red
On the ebony could-be

And your non-conformity
Is a replacement for fitting in
Under the watercolor painting
Dripping as it dries
Into your pried open mouth
Clenched under the faucet
Of your force-fed propoganda
Lies you choose to believe in
To numb away the pain
And the critics usher upon
Your picture-perfect autumn world
Where children play under the lens flare
As glass leaves hit the ground
And stare into the sunlight
Radiation turned you blind

Fuck what you heard.
This what you hearin', listen
