Life Within the Eye

when everything continually
keeps drawing to an end
but the curtain never hits the floor
as if suspended in the moment
when finality looms heavy
fills my everything with dread
and there are so many omens
that i don't know what to expect
you knew the joke from the beginning
but insist i tell it anyway
and when i forget the punchline
you just cross your arms and wait
we all end somewhere
and i honestly don't mind
it's just that i end everywhere all the time
it's just that i haven't
a life unlived
lord what i'd give
to leave the eye
a life confined
to borrowed time spent
within the eye
for life
within the eye
is no life at all

Cocoon

bored to exhaustion
months spent watching the callouses
waste from my fingers
a splendid example of
"use it or lose it"
but if that were true for everything
i'd probably be dead at this point
and you'd probably be
cleaning up the mess
limp
idle
piece of shit
biding its time
in the crevices
bored to exhaustion
please entertain or distract me
from my other distractions
as i fatigued of them quickly
now they just loiter 'round my system
like arsenic or nicotine cravings or cancer
or tapeworms, slumbering parasites
lazily playing the long game
limp
idle
piece of shit
biding its time
in the crevices
(spun my cocoon
hung it out to dry
tell me is there anything
left of me still?)
