jack.hammered [dys]topia

By Cassandra

acknowledgement of insecurities tied to empty wishes and blank hopes
are invented for the sole purpose of interior destruction rather than design
eternal phobias are locked away in oblivious zones - blackened glances and poisoned lips
shards of frictional mirrors conflicting scarlet against obsidian in the gaze of death
havoc spat in vodka from jackhammered sockets now carved
[lets play cage the bird all over again]


entwining porcelain fingers with sweat veiled mood rings and pinky promises
miserable and overwhelmed with a lustful shadow of vengeful tequilla sunsets
kissing a horizon of forest fire and vanilla mosquitoes to enhance unseen beauty
until everything you once found cherished as a stunning or gorgeous possession
conflicted with an oceanic brutality unnoticed: salted pavement
[flutter, flutter, flutter, .c.r.a.s.h.]


magnified regrets stripped of cause {black} and effect {white} depart leaving behind
a dystopia recycled into a cesspool of candy lies and tagged bungee cords
washed into a monochrome abyss with nature's bitter glory chipping taste buds
carressing a tongue sliced into sixths and nurturing white polaroids simultaneously
manipulating the self-made hypocrites of modern standards until they are shackled with tears

[s t u c k, c.r.a.s.h, s t u c k]
[c.r.a.s.h, s t u c k, c.r.a.s.h]
[s t u c k, c.r.a.s.h, s t u c k]

---x---x----x----x-----x-----x------x------

and you [DIE] again.
.for
..the
...thousandth
....time.
