Fallout

Tick Tick Tick Tick

Tick Tick Tick Tock

behind my eyes is a demon

with the face of a clock

one rotation takes a lifetime

we live in circles, inside a book

The Wheel turns, and we all burn

like we ever give a fuck

and no excuses but to learn

i’ll be better next time

one hundred-twenty-seven

black and glistening teeth

I’ll kiss you like a crocodile

my smile’s a coral wreath

it screams “YOU GET BACK UP”

I say “I’m past regrets”

I say “I’d rather die now”

It says “YOU’RE NOT FINISHED YET.”

let’s make a perfect child

no, baby, let’s make two

I’ll give you triplets

let’s fill the universe with you

let’s call one Neversee

and call one Neverdo

let’s call one Speaknoevil

‘cos nothing’s ever true

rotties born with ballgags

to mothers in restraints

cattle without voices scream

but you hear no complaints

show me on the dolly

where they they made you touch yourself

save you from the paedos

for a future packing shelves
