Did you ever find out where the last time you took a breath
and let it go
without bail
to roam free
without fear
without lust
into the streets?

U think it's easy for the night
to let u forget it?

Crooked cops in crooked cars
with crooked teeth
and crooked mouths
spitting hot mouthwash into the sewers.

Keep an eye out for an angel in the streetlights,
keep a palm over your heart and your flask, bite the hot bullet with your flaming teeth, chlorine makes me throw up anyway.

Why don't you believe me when i say it'll be easy?

Over the last week
i've realised how easy it is,
to keep a penny between my teeth
to keep a soft tongue alive between my hands
to keep a weak muscle still between my lungs.

Remember what happens on earth,
stays on earth.

This is not a memoir.

Hell; i was taking a walk the other day.
