So simplistic, so realistic, so sadistic.

scrape and skim.

make do on whims.

roving troop-like,

with infectious influence,

clanking glass, and humor; crass.

crazy, cynical, cretins,

calloused, and carefree.

reconcile to the relief;

consumed in sacred ground for me.
there wasn't always a place to go,
but there was always an urgent need to belong.

and there..

it's all too often i fear that my eyes rat me out.

maybe the stitch job was too obvious.

maybe theres just too fucking many stitches.

confident, yet reluctant in advance.

out on the firing line one too many times,

stay steadfast, hold your course.

Ostracized if not otherwise ,
Left to my own device you'll surely see,

Rabbid dogs chewing at my feet,
Trying to protect their side of the street.
