The doomed fish

The doomed fish.
+++++++++++++

Days ago I said
Goodbye to sleep
because my dreams
exhaust me

and 
I trust em even less
than
this Current Waking
State

Where 
Angels stand on street
Corners

legs open and
Smokes
Dangling from their 
ever-
-Snarling- Lips of
Misplaced 
Hate

(I loved them all but
could
Never afford one)

I'm sad alot but 
never
knew what happy was
and maybe
that's
the real tragedy in
all 
This cluster-fuck

Damn


No wonder my only
Friend
Never bothers to punctuate

what's the point?


If others can't read 
Between
The blurred lines they
were
doomed from the start any
way
Because if you can't draw 
your
Own Conclusions most
will
quickly conclude you're
not 
worth the effort 

and 
never
Deserved
Any
Of
Those
Angels 

who slay
The
Beasts chomping 
on 
your
Histrionic Heart

+

(Five days later and 
I'm
Clinging to consciousness
like
A doomed fish wallowing
on
A beach 

drowning 
In his
own 
Fish bullshit

STILL

Trying to 
remember!!

(If those fuckin
Angels 
Ever smiled.)
