Tongue Biter 03:52
I'm spitting out my mantra, trembling. The fear is spinning in my guts, it's turning something in me. Now I'm pulling punches. God speaks and it shatters my collarbone. That wasn't too kind. He said "quit your whining". Crowds of hostile people yell. Hey, spill your guts out, now file yourself down. You can phase me in and out. Focus your mouth on nicer things I could say to you. I'm mixing timelines. Oh my god, I'm cracking up.

Set the Bone 04:02
Jump off. Swim back again. Grab your life vest. The water's cold. My teeth ache in the ice bath. You said it's not my fault. I'm getting stuck there. It's way too heavy for both of us. But you've got to know if you want to heal you set the bone. Understand peace comes and goes when you call me. I want to help, but I built up your ramparts along with you. You need time, and I think that's fine, but there's something you're not telling me. You screamed for help, but I wasn't listening. There's something you're not telling me. You're caged and tied. How could I? There's something you're not telling me.

Mouthwash 03:44
Measure out the mouthwash cap and slug it down, spit glands blasting. Feet stick to the tile floor. Soap's In the back. Wait for more. Millimeters spacing fingers between mirrored glass. Press too hard and crack. At the grocery store fielding questions from creeps for a second more. Swap that sugar before we go. I am walking up wooden steps to a platform above the park. Brought a chisel and marker to shake things up. Shaking stuff up will only lay it out clearer now. I'm afraid I've let you down. Let me down easy. Would you take me down with you?
4.
Epoxy 03:14
Something's weird in Fishtown- a five-minute epoxy put down. Stepping outside, smoking beside a dumpster fire tribe of rag dolls. I picked you up at the park drowning your mother's sick dog. You said you'd tried but couldn't decide to do it. Left it to a coin toss. You're not changing. I'm not changing. Stuck in my room, not scared of you, but I'll sleep under the covers though I'm sweating through my t-shirt.
5.
Still 03:48
Vi said last weekend, "you owe me for the cigarettes you bummed". Damp sheets and wet hair hide from me the blinds that rattle. Don't go. I'm nervous. Leaving notes outside. I'll try to hide a diphenhydramine sigh. I will try the best I can.
