spitting nails

smoking asbestos cigarettes
and drinking paint thinner
some bleach what a morning
with a necklace of razor blades
pour a big bowl of broken bottles
from last night when the sky
rained acid looking into the cracked mirror
too long too disgusted
spitting nails at the picture
on fat Tuesday he has never been skinnier
where has the sanity gone
no one knows the truth
the two halves do equal the whole
he dug down deep to the bone
exposing and throwing up on the rug
filled with madness no more…
