\nFrom out of him will
\ncome two children
\nthough he knows\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 not
\nwhat to do with them
\nhe understands work
\nand they understand work
\nso everyday they\u2019ll work
\nuntil their bones become wet
\nand they grind into dust
\ngrind into dirt

\nHell<\/b>
\n     
\nHell is a place
\n     -all borninto
\nnothing sacred
\n     -carve it into trees
\nimpale your life on a stake
\n\u201cI\u2019m the biggest martyr!\u201d
\n     no one wants to hear it
\n     whatever you\u2019ve got to say
\nburn it
\n     no one wants to hear
\n     whatever you\u2019ve got to say
\nburn it
\n     nothing sacred
\nburn it
\n     eat them all alive

\nGroundhog Day<\/b>
\n     
\nAlone in everyone\u2019s favorite dreary
\ndreaming we\u2019re dreaming of each other in love
\nrunning out the incessant circles of
\nloneliness that run up there
\ncall me here \u2013 living, breathing
\nnot some memory formed (made) abscess on my everything
\nbeautiful she is, the highest monument to being
\nlike so much marble and concrete we\u2019ve
\nraised so high to proclaim our existence
\nhere, living, breathing, existing are we
\nthe WE, the us and you I cannot
\nor ever forget \u2013 I want here: forever
\nnot like some fallen state \u2013 some ilk of Rome
\nnever cast down or cast out \u2013 thieves forever and thicker more
\n     
\n_____________________________
\nConvenience Store<\/b>
\n     
\nwhenever\u2019s convenient for you\u2019s
\nconvenient for me
\nI\u2019m here selling sharp candy
\nand you\u2019re taking it for free
\n
