42 - Frontyard

Every damn painting on this wall-

I will rip them down.

The money which is funneled

towards spineless men, 

with their hats full of the dead,

throws me for a loop. 

The basement, 

full of furnaces,

throws me thousands

of little, painful ailments. 

I tried to tell you 

that I admire your situation,

but you threw me out of the window

so that I may fall

twenty feet down,

through the air, 

and onto the thoroughfare

of your frontyard.

Years I could've spent with you

and you'd never understand me 

because the one who keeps themselves

deaf, blind, and stiff

is still just you.

Your eyes are too human

and that makes you guilty 

and unamusing. 

You understand that much, 

at least, don't you?
