betteroffbadwhen the slush is in your heart you cannot shovel it away
or suck it with a shop vac it has seeped inside to stay
when the slush is in your veins you can slash open all you like
nothing dribbles to the page but weaksauce Rilke sound-alikes
when the slush is in your head you ache and ache to no avail
when the slush is in your gut you can remove it with no pail
it's the soaked sock of the psyche and the clammy foot as well
it's the stories that you could tell but don't really want to tell
or suck it with a shop vac it has seeped inside to stay
when the slush is in your veins you can slash open all you like
nothing dribbles to the page but weaksauce Rilke sound-alikes
when the slush is in your head you ache and ache to no avail
when the slush is in your gut you can remove it with no pail
it's the soaked sock of the psyche and the clammy foot as well
it's the stories that you could tell but don't really want to tell
