see this human-shaped cocoon
thousand miles of black silk
spinning 'round a larval core of nothing
echoing a deaf song
rattling as in a dead throat
do you really call it living?
begging at every corner?
screaming
with a soundtrack of cry cry cry cry
the buzz of flies suggesting: “knock off! cut off!!”
but neither when knife armed he can make the cut
cutting faces as with tumors
rub out feelings as with errors
cutting faces as with tumors
rub out feelings as with bad mistakes
but how can we do
when he himself's the mistake
when he's the dumbest jerk of 'em all
a pointless muncher of chances
ain't it like betting on a dead horse?
except he's not dead yet
he's like an insect
that eats its own wings
but he can't chew
'cause its essence is pure sparkling void void void
cut my body in halves
and look at my wounded parts
count my age from excisions
and know me from what is not
the panic got callous
the passions all torn away
consumed by my hunger
I’ve told you that hate ate ate
