Spread apart on a hospital bed
With a purple heart pinned on a
Fossil that’s not quite dead
I’m invincible here
Mildly invisibly clear from
Warming up to an old friend
Just a connoisseur of dirt
Celebrating my worth
I can count on one hand…Useless or not
The number of useless
Things my useless hands have caught
Fix me medicine
Fix me cast
Fix me strong so I can last
It got so bright it died
And blew up all over the inside
Of my leather white eyes
And it just spread all over
Planned out like a chemistry set
A dogfight with no means to eject…
They never taught us about that…
I bought the world as a gift,
now it’s too heavy to lift
and that’s exactly how i'll leave it
But this elevation is sick
We can go much higher or lower
Anything is better than this….
