I experienced that peculiar brand of shame that usually only comes with having a biblical name
With nowhere hair nothing eyes deep sigh uneasy air
Triple crowned son in his anglican gut wonders if the wandering is best left to others
Through himselves he weaves the mantra he can never be man, master cast, with plasterrrrrr
He carves it into table - 2 x 3
"When you first notice immortality is beginning to abandon thee"
She wrote - boy, you won't even live to a footnote
He proclaimed
My only aim is to leave a stain
Tame her with frantic early morning emails
Spell out 'I f**ing love you' in chemtrails
Bathe in bravery
Become famous, for your defiant pathos
Arrange a transfer to speaker's corner
To argue the case of the both the latter, and the former
And your days
Everafter
Will become
Slightly softer
Easier
And warmer
And warmer
Adn warmrer
