con-trite-tion

[Deleted]

this is more of a poem tahn anything else, and it is meant to be spoken over a slow picked folky piece of music. it's a little weird, and so it may not go down well, but if you have any comments, i'd be very grateful to hear them.

con-trite-tion

i dig fairy tales
in the space gallows
the pantheon facing
the fistful of sky
in somber recollection

the union of clouds
that wrap around skylights
that i gaze out of
wistfully, while outside
there is screaming

i've got to feel it
something conceived
i dig fairy tales
in the space gallows
i hang myself from the silver slip
of light and dark
all at the same time
and smile as i plunge into the ocean
of blue green plasma below

we can't finish this
too much work i guess
while the fruit flies are feeding
we'll have to get together
and dance around the monument

i'd like to part your hair
around your ears and highlights
to split this perfection
and gaze at the insides
while outside there's indifference

i've got to feel it
something misinformed
i dig fairy tales
in the space gallows
i strike my match on the sun
and blow smoke rings round jupiter
sucking on a cigar made
of the intergalactic undertow ruins

you'll have it and you'll like it
whether you want to or not
she said deferentially
you'll want it and you'll love it
whether you like it or not
she said indifferently
i dig fairy tales
in the space gallows
