rust

stay awake
go outside
get on the road
take a little ride
slip and fall
bruise and scrape
the next day it's all the same
this time trip
and spill some blood
mix it all
into the mud
over and over
the spiral won't end
until you are dead
you've broken bone
life seeps out
the marrow is gone
don't just fall
this time jump
brains coming out
through a broken skull
eyes empty of fluid
ears pouring blood
droplets speckle the ground
someone rolls you over
you can't see or speak
the take your wallet
that is life

break the glass
drink the rust
sleep
in the fire

force the pain
feel the hurt
god
is on vacation

grow old
give up
too early
and never
too late
