we gave birth to Television (Zeus) emerging from our brow (Zenith) blurred the sky with radar dishes choking up the airwaves its coming down our kiss gives blisters the Midas touch Medusa in smokestacks turn to tarmac highway ribbons factory stench smoke belching cover up the air in a cloak of black blow the fuse in overload we gave birth to one thousand suns above our heads we gave birth to fire in the sky a stitch in time now hypodermic beaches drowning in medical waste waves of cotton hairballs blood clots oil drums bursting the Exxon backwash leaves a bad taste power failure socket burnout ozone turned to aerosol water and lead and iodine (a toast) and apathy will dig a grave for us all
I Still Bleed
legs bent and twisted up underneath me limbs like wood my blood flows like pitch my body shudders and curls against your jaw blackened and burned in need of a stitch or two your disease comes sinking into me its teeth all chiseled mercilessly hammering my nerves until I'm split and severed but somehow you don't see I still bleed down the long grinding night a cigarette burns a slow hole into my split lip my eyes burn out cause I see too much I touch your mouth cold skin your hips kiss the wound where I still bleed lying just South of your Mouth acid burns in every kiss loaded breach and swallowed barrel I never thought it might come to this try to hold myself shut together stapled sutured but everytime we touch then I still bleed
