I saw curious things happening over and over:
Panicky disco stars bursting open the backdoor,
Laying under the covers, miserably needing a shower.
I was tongue tied but Jay kicked them on the floor.
Three women waltzed in, severed head in each hand.
Our sheets soaked in tears of virgins awaiting suicides.
Is this a movie scene? Can I at least pretend?
Suddenly, I was sinking like USS Silversides.
You don’t have to believe me when I tell you this last part
But I swam through the trench for hours, encrypting signs.
Corrupted brain exponentially filling with rage, growing smart…
I vomited numbers yet no one tried to read between the lines.
Then someone opened the blinds.
