Jay Alejo Writes

you can let your heart out to dry

on the star spangled banner

stammering and stuttering “why”

but you better mind your manners

because ever after its conflicted

just remembering the days of form

take it from the fireside it wont get blistered

blister pack and listerine stays warm

while the heart palpitates and flitters

make the world go away from one day to another

everything is so twisted and fucked up

that its conscious state remains “no wonder”

dont mean to appear stuck up

but im way above these fucking cretins

well seasoned and still breathing solemnly

as the twilight approaches the evening

so i guess it remains the same probably

the beasts best continue feeding with hunger

and as the days pass into each other

the machine is defiled despite the wonder

return the speech unto the mother

tongue licking the wounds oozing

confusedly contusing appendages

and in the game of life were losing

trapped in a suspended age

im distraught and yet magnificent

got a new rhyme for the history books

go ahead and stay chasing your dividends

and dont worry about the universal dirty looks

because its all wrought in iron

and though i cant place the face

im effaced more the closer to zion

i get without a trace

bombed with krylon and melted nylon

raison detre meted out rhythmically

as outside approaches near zero

for your sake i hope satisfactorily, statistically

we dont need another hero

so let us please go above and beyond

and let us please do so together

in realms and spheres beyond reason

a foot of snow, this weekends weather
