Lilies

tear gas for the dead, time bomb of the lonely
the salient shanty of fourteen grandam fools

like a silhouette for the blind, asset of mnemonic
the usual tried aspect of a botched escape

missiles for the sorrow, ignition of the lazy
scarlet scatter of fundamental blood

saying today is never a disaster, the fathers have ways
the mistaken brevity of simplistic sheets

at the movement of the guard because you pass
passing passed past fast

movement before Jacob, worship to the lied to
whatever it means means it's ever: a ration of time

my firewall is blocked, your profile unseen
Panic to the decors! Panic to the way!

we are a fever of binaries, our schedule obscene
moss-laden capsule, I drink of day

whatever you do, do not water the lilies
do not stereotype the only bus that passed
do not summon someone's brother, there never is
anything worth summoning a brother for

akin to danger, entertained by facts
nobody comes to your retardation
nobody leaves you, nobody loves

Sunday for arrows, a lady besets the chair
the man, bacchanal, on for a riot
an uncalled for thwacking at a mother

fatless diversion, stolen memory in an open kiosk
smoking of a mom, the chugging of interfered hearts

it leaves space for more key items
it stays open for squalor of dust

here they are a walk-about like a feint
copies of copies, hold your necks from the noose

it is only a whatever it is, there never hurts
a squadron you missed
