Everyone's Got a Song For the Heartbreaker

by Adam Gaucher - Sagittarius


I can see how one could
submit to the dramatic optical
illusion known as your face, humanity.
I've given you the time to find
someone who's not lost soul
in the game of chance.  (My
conclusions suggest impossibilities).

Listening to reflections looking
at words, I pass good
morning how are you fabulous;
(sit down, light up, shoot caffeine).
Tar Tar, the manifested troll disease,
the external air borne trading game
once again in part the rolling eyes.

Example: Troubled Genius vol. 3.
One seems inclined
to write when depressed because
it is in that state which one is not
motivated enough to care about
how bad their verse really is.
"What are you, some kinda shrink
or something?"
No.  I'm just a recovering idiot.

I implore you, leave pet significance
at the door.  One enters the box
of inhibition usually sickened by
symptoms of claustrophobia.  Would
you like a mirror, a large mirror,
would that help you monkey?  Do you
fear what it is that your eyes would like
to tell you?  My mirrors are
known to do that.  I'm sorry
we can't be friends, but let's smile
and dance anyway for showman's sake.

And see, you've run out of
limbs to tear out your last.
And now, you gnaw at your armpit for
eternity, wasting these lessons for five-
twenty-nine carafes of sweet luscious
blood.  I cry for your entertaining
money spent.  I cry for you losing
another shoulder to cry on.
