harsh perspective

you smile at me in total defiance of all decency

102-102 tie

and i know one of us
and i'm not saying who
has got rocks in her head

bail

i got sugar in the fuel lines
both of us do

a place to bury strangers killed it

and i want to go home
but i am home

buds

i am healthy, i am whole, but i have poor impulse control.

the coroner's gambit

when death came calling today,
i heard the gentle grace of his cadences.
i couldn't say no.
i couldn't say no.

the blinding symmetry

been gone

and i say i would.

i memorize them all
the scuff marks on the stone floor
the powder burns on the eastern wall

strawberry

your bright eyes render all discussion pointless
your bright eyes are gonna kill me for sure

another sunny day

sexy sax

How do I top the sexiness of the past few posts? Easy. Just find a guy playing the saxophone and wait until he pulls the sexy sax move.
