Pieces

Engorged and overcome Hemorrhages and heartache Nickels for bubblegum, a roadshow attraction Bleating and deceased. Passageways and corridors Ordinary vestiges, decoded messages Inflatable mattress, cable access Sublime, cactus and pilot scripts Silent film and the actress Contrived, violent crypts, radio for the empress Pieces of the Movies Pieces of the Movies No parcel of majesty presides or resides in me Embroiled in tragedy with value and agony Pieces of the Movies Bloodlines, brackish and violet, crimson Hunter and the fortress Relentless odor of narcotics Pungent sour and plentiful Suspicious hours are tenuous Macabre, dour and contemptuous. Thankless aroma of psychotic Unkempt cowards illegible Pernicious showers of chemicals Assault the plows and the vegetables Desecrated debutants Harp-strings tourniquet bug-bites counterfeiting artistry Cuticles ugly Putrid, caked and sore They're stinging Amalgamating fuzz from my couch seats
