REM 5:20am

two drafts I have 
typed briefly
the same oil 
from my skin
sticking on the words
from five
in the morning 
yelling through a screen
at a used-to-be
stranger
to 

fucking date me
you 
fucking asshole

American pop
null 
inspiration 
Dutch political rap
null 
inspiration
Indian musicals 
null 
inspiration
folk Greek
null 
inspiration 
industrial German
null 
inspiration

results are in
every shock wave
reports the same
I physically cannot make
this pitiful 
what is not 
pity-stenched 
I cannot gather enough
oil
to type

so I stay rotting
prettily 
in bed 
afternoon sun
somewhere not here
smiling like a minstrel
fool
to the tune of 
Men Without Hats'
SAFETY DANCE
