MEAT-BAG | Jerifa


this inadequate self

proves itself again

again

you derive a certain sinister 

satisfaction

taunt my sustained 

dreamlessness

kick my stomach

i throw up


under the weight of 

these dollops of fat

my shoulders droop

my back bends


can not take up as much space as you

that must be reason enough 

for me to perpetually bow


does my inactivity

threaten your sense of 

identity, i apologise

i do apologies well


however 

do not count me

'my sanity 

is not statistical'


i will burn this fat into your eyes

the distorted visions

that you drool over

will run 

like wax down a candle

your annihilation will begin

i will gobble you up

and gulp you down


i do not do violence well

i pray do not make me learn

an exasperated assertion


this meat-bag has no purpose to serve

let me only be layers of epidermis
