This gentle friction strips thin skin clean off
Like a medicine bottle’s label soaking in warm water
Arousing voice, flawless face, liquid warmth, flows
Are once you touch down, my chest, it starts to burn
I can not hide this rash, but it has not spilled back down
Fear of that too small to see, every man is flawed

An apple of day is a drip of poison as another face gets pale
Pavlovian fear of saccharin sweetness, reacting hives from touch
Going over history fills me top to bottom, histamine
Herstory, on the inside we are all intolerant to something
Plastic windows and concrete skies, disinfected trays
Endless days spent between a pair of windows in a daze

Eyes glazed over permanently, tired, type B blooded
Precious, vaccinated, educated lower middle class citizen
Marcs button-up, but no money for food, trying to acclimatize
To the cleaning fluid and gray smog clouds around filling up
Pairs of black lungs in calcium capsule ribs

Years growing like weeds in a pot plant, staring at dancers
To the north pole from the south pole, down the rabbit and the glory holes
Killing cells to unwind, pretending to create cells within cells
Satisfaction of following regular programming, would you agree?
Good dog, with a droog or god, tribes are formed by agreeance
When we lose our irrational beliefs, a specimen or dinner
It never tastes better on the way back up.
