Compassion is
a gentle reminder of things   to come

Agent orange don't take my son

Oh, you are a violent rose, and pretty


                                                                  Inwardly shaking like teeth
(we smile, you smile),

                                   you drink like a damn fool

                                                                             (white
                                                                             like an egg with / without the shell)

yes, this is a gentle reminder of things to come

a paper doll to hang in the window

                                                        she is soulless

And you thought you could never tell

                                            perhaps a schizophrenic? / scoot down a little.
