Earth tucks itself under my fingernails
orbits of jealously and self loathing
pull themselves together
a piebald splintered with irony
with everything that ails me
in space love is useless
here love is useless
the flesh will swallow the bone
and the heart will pump blood
pump it until the useless body
keels over in retirement
stop calling to arms
the communities of upright apes
they kill for status
money heavy in their wallet
i have tried to plant the seeds
have tried to be seen
and when all the eyes finally make their way to where i stand
i hope i'm dead
the martyr
the dreamer
the fuck up
