tune in turn on happy hour previous next drop out touch typing torment study in black and white toys 'R' him beta not flatline blues moving on just a note just so story punching bag ad oblivion, ad nauseum


    beta not

    the fingers of my sleeping mind
    find firming promises
    of morning pleasures

    acting out beta statements
    half aroused, half awakened
    I snuggle into your back

      you bellow
    "get on your own side of the bed!"

    the fingers of my all too conscious mind
    caress your carotids
    choke out your last
    dying breath
