he asked how my heart was beatin'
I tried to cut his guts out with a box cutter
razors don't need repeatin'
& they don't fuckin' stutter
may seem a little over the top
but backwoods instincts crawled up my spine
when he inquired about my #health at a bus stop
but wasn't no friend o mine

she comes in sidewize
with her wings hid
like cherubim & seraphim
on a day trip
a rainbowed ray of light
love at the lowest bid
an hourglass of broken crystal sand contorted to skip
nebulous aura on the edge
with a blowed off lid
she keeps my cup full
so I leave a good tip
