Loaded

I don’t believe in a right way 
whatever washes the char off 
need to wipe away the residue 
America’s an enigma 
Narcan and pavement 
walk with the wicked
or slither like a saint 
head down
versus sinner 
is there a difference
heard Emperor Whoever try another
speech
looked at his crown 
I saw baby shoes there
he said he was sorry
about the newest crumbling 
I turned him off 
went to your corner store 
bought plastic venom 
ice
and black coffee
traps for mice
spent that night quiet
it’s hard to keep my eyes 
shut

Rat Skeleton

Ouroboros
