Fatter

you shatter my dreams
until it seems they
are nothing but splinters
in the sand
you demand tabula rasa
pretty-n-pure
I'm sure of one thing
you bring a whole lotta hell
to sweeten my rum
splatter me into a party
of one
I need some more
I need some more
a whore for the truth
with its residue
you imbue my hope
with clarity
take it away
outta charity
the disparity doesn't drive me
to the brink I'm fatter,
I think
hard to ignore
I know the score by rote
and the trip ain't free
you delve into the core of me
whee! I say
one more again
now is then
if you're into zen
I'm a denizen
of the world I own
as democratic as an ice cream cone
leave me alone come back
at three
or four
then you can explore everything
that does not matter
arranged with cilantro
on a gilded
platter.
