table top epitaph //

[deadcapulet]

Prophets can't talk to frogs the way that I can.
If hell is just a word where is the place that I've been?
News reel plutoid fallacies can't reveal the grief that I feel.
If hell is just a word how could heaven be real?

seek gods to break bones
top hats bleed burnt oil
song bird's sing
lesser men laugh
great men seek gods
to break bones
for their epitaph

The world is flat because They say it isn't.
If life is absurd does that make home a prison?
The world is because I say it is.
But the world is a word just the same, isn't it?

prize fights in parking lots
filthy hands of beggars begging
lion wails on brass
chicken plucks it's string
man sips as whiskey talks
of prize fights
in parking lots
