decidedly, the staples unbuttoned
unscrambles together the purpose
trudging along our methodologies breathing
towards the corridors where perceptions
are mimicked to profess in metaphors
for betterments hidden in puzzle boxes.
what a sentence what a sentence what
a sentence. unstructured; tongues
bloom into music kissing lip gloss
bright in the afternoon sun, as we stand
to pretend caring, catching bites whilst spitting
plastic into cans, bring the legs and make them
taste sweetly in unison to the satisfying sigh
called relief. who stands baffled to the
acoustic moon violently marooning the clumsy
thinker washing his face in dull cinema
called care? i certainly don't, i certainly
don't; intend to pretend
is a phrase used in a sentence, a sentence
what a sentence, breathing life only seconds
to comatose relief because friends, friends,
friends, friends, friends :
undecidedly
my buttons scrambled a purpose
a purpose i call life
and an open call to death
is default payment we cash
                                              in every puzzling month.
