[bodytext] => It's a dripping cancer, Poured over the carbon canvas, When hypodermic hysteria insues. Cold and numb; Limbs tingle, With the burning barrage, Of waterless drowning. This is your fault line's offspring. The dirt under your fingernails, Tells of a job well done. The latex resurrection, Crawls beneath your skin, While scalpels outline your aging shadow. I left my fingerprints on the casket, And cut the rubber with my tongue. Momentarily interbred and xeroxed, The lies give a false hope of sunset. Crooked antennas bent on catching waves, Learned in the ways of carnivorous canopies. And we dared to mock, The impending insurrection, With a light-hearted tear, And another cup of coffee.
