Every Man
A snuff film is always just an awkward stay away,
I misunderstand nothing
Shamed in public,
A lack of interest in humanity…Your humanity,
Sobriety, volunteering, community harmonium
I don’t give out merit badges
Picking the leather coat out of my childhood home’s closet with the dried blood caked on,
I turned around on a windy Long Island City evening
Lit a bogey and my compassion went up in flame
Seeing a buddy on the concrete, just a puddle…
I’ll cry on the coldest days,
It has nothing to do with the squall.
Be patient
Be patient,
Be ready.
