Ravenous!
Scandalous!
Masochist!

"Disassociate old ways? 
There's no way! 
Like Hades on a cold day."

"You don't say?" 

So, if I decapitate 
(you won't, will you!?)
this prostate
  off of me
will you get
  off of my brain? 


BRO.... 
HEY! 

Animus!
Savages! 
Patterns of 
Recalcification, 

There's no breaks.
They don't play, 

Like rangers at closed gates 

"Didn't you hear us?!"
"GO AWAY!" 

Bullying my body 
until it's beaten 
and it's bludgeoned
I will pull me from the party
There's no peace treaties 
with publicans 

Otherwise 
I surmise
I'd imbibe 
thighs 
until I 
           EMBIGGEN 
in a size
wider 
than a #5 
           CHICKEN 
with a side of fries

And if  
        INSTANCE 
   friends asked me

    "WHY?"

DELAY.
DEFEND.
DEPOSE.
DENY.

Decisions imprisoned 
ambitions and visions
And if  
          INSTANCE 
        kids asked me

   "WHY?"

DELAY.
DEFEND.
DEPOSE.
DENY.

The coward's empowered. 
The clock tower's hour
is turned to the 
 wrong date, 
        this song's late! 

At least, 
they think...

   the gong banged!
