Too Late

Too Late

cycle boiling hotter
outrage glued mirage
reality ain’t happening  
duct tape 
sleight of hand
it’s a flesh and bone trap 
he was a navy codebreaker
the last time he thought 
fuck it 
I’m done 
he used his great-grandfather’s 
12 gauge
chapters fill my shadow 
wrong way wrong year
one foot then the other
I’ll step until I find change   
worry like addiction 
can’t take my eyes off the fall 
she heard that drowning 
can be peaceful
starting over would’ve been 
more than unbearable  
late night sirens 
she brought her daughter with her 
true needs to come back
enough fear and anger 
I only want a piece
a billion decibels 
propaganda works better 
when it’s loud

Centrifuge

Take What I Need
