dilapidation

dead flies
in basement
florescent lights hum
that basement smell
I crawl away
from your personality
admit I’m not
strong enough
to withstand it
they take millions
and millions of
cigarette breaks
until the big final break
comes along
the body falls apart
whole chunks fall off
it becomes a bloody soup
you become something else
sing in that direction
so everyone can hear
the body falls apart
stand in your own puddle

I don’t laugh at everything
so why should
they laugh at
everything I say
so no stand up comedy for me
