you can't take his blood pressure all the time
leave him shaking
eight inch needle in his spine
(wasn't supposed to feel a thing)
cap off the line
feed the "medicine" through
said yourself,
"don't think this is the right thing for you."
but here he sits
ghost pained like the bullet never left
the one you put in
el five
ess one.
the slow face is all part of the fun.
is this where your counterpart tells him
to pick up his eyelids again.
to sit through this bitterness.
caress the weakened parts.
fix this,
why don't you?
fix this.
