Linguistic Limbo

it goes under the stick or it gets the hose...

By BrenPublished 3 years ago Updated 3 years ago 1 min read

i didn't want it to go this way

wasn't sure it would be heard

this instant of a dissonant sway

held more than just a word

bountiful promises held out of reach

and this one single fragment gone

im just another starless Sneetch

cast to the distance beyond

i didn't plan for any of this

no blueprint no notes no agenda

it's not like it actually came true from a wish

it's either the hangover or the bender

i didn't see it pan out like this

the unexpected springs to mind

there could have been some things i missed

and things still left to find

i didn't sell my hopes and dreams

i didn't sell my soul

i puckered my crack and bent my back

and went straight under that fucking pole
