if my darling were a watermellon id tell gallagher where she was

By Jonas

like an experiment
almost
to see what happens
the end reaction
the dilapidated contraption that you have to drag out whenever you have guests

a shotgun breaches the rapture
a knife in your own hand is harder
but nothing is faster
the end is the beginning is uncertain is unwilling to go forsaken and less often thought of

like number three
rabies
foaming at the mouth
for a vice out of breath
but the resilience of the body namely the mind fills in the gaps of my chemical contraption

nothing rises like this
eyes across the table
square
are always serious
law-abiding citizens never
get to feel this
never get to feel this
way

faded and fortunate in
feeling
jaded at the ever
flaming torch held up
by the spectre of true love biting his nails nervous always nervous always a bundle of nerves

crazy and a little off
decisions
float like like an electric arc
up the coil of time
and i'd trade a rhyme for an indescretion anyday now that is a lie now that is a lie

nothing empties the cyst
like the lance that are the words that are to say that this is all meaningless
this is all meaningless
