yo

my time is spent hell bent on embellishing the snail’s scent
curtailing the entrails of burning gelatin trails that went
slowly scraping the pavement to mate with the park bench
the hard stench of booze parked in the empty compartments
hearts content on my side of the line trekking the border
pacing torpor thoughts in basement levels of pecking orders
flecking mortar from the floor boards of my textile dreams
my style seems a more orientated accord to exile screams
i’m Gentile, bent smile piled on this latch I stapled shut
to hush the naked four quarter moon phases of fucking – up
luck is just a struck match magically lit inside a wind storm
my cigarette still sits with an unburnt tip on a grin formed
get-it? Flicked habits from my fingers but habits tend to stick
as I kick cans down the path to unmask the habituates
so if you’re the pathetic kid that feels sorry for me breathing
put a dollar on my bar tab and well just regard it Even-Steven
proceed to bleeding, exceed what succeeded heathens
i’m leaving this world believing the game was never worth beating
cheat Code Keyed In, easy mode, speak you overachiever
you seek answers to this road I chose while I coax my own believers
neither weaker than the other, just debate the preferences
amalgamate the facts then state your belated references
confessions end. I’ll never mend these exponential damages
you’d hemorrhage non-sense trying to bandage my pretentiousness
relentless in my conquest to cut ties or bare the knots
or just bury my face in thought like disappearing aeronauts
lost. if meaning lost is being in the middle of no-where,
with no cares.
there is no cure for misanthropy except for coke sizzling my nose hairs

so there

Really liked the title sucked me in like a moth to a flame, the rhyme scheme
Was a highlight in it self, and you're command of wording was also enjoyable,
And don't even get me started with the details this drop projected whilst i was
Reading, which in a real cool way could be overlooked as the pace seemed to
Push you along so you don't break flow by pondering, very enjoyable dude, i'm
Now going to give it another read (or 2)...peace.
