Straight Panic / Cum Gutter

by STRAIGHT PANIC

/
1.
All day is questions: At night, I speak. Where am I from? What am I doing? No answer appears. I arrive intoxicated I leave sober Who hears my voice? Who watches through my eyes? An endless confusion Whomever left me here Will be the one to retrieve me, Or none at all This endless unknowing No forethought outside of an explosion No thought or words Here is everything with no means of grasping. It's fine. Lit by sunset and again at dawn They say there's no future for us. They're right. It's fine. There's no future for us. There's no future.
2.
The unease of comfort Fear of safety Of contentment Of settling Of chosen isolation Craving the unknown elusive high of anonymous bodies fluid exchange and ill-measured risk assessment Eternal funeral for who I once was A ceaseless return to Dionysian lusts Placing tokens on one's own eyes; With this ring, I thee do wed.
3.
I don't need but I want constantly A black pit of yearning Insatiable hole Whore of Babylon Greenpoint, Long Island Collapsing new cities The Piers The stockade Like a pig at a trough I have led myself to gorge Like a lamb to the slaughter Id indulgence I don't need but I want constantly A black pit of yearning Insatiable hole Bottomless pit
4.
Eden on fire Decaying Exile Tropic Fragile purity A youth written in rust Gestation period extends past biological viability Calcified husks and rancid tissues The greater the lifespan the greater the risk of predation Snaking roots truncated Resource preservation via material misappropriation Imagine Cain favored first blooded son fulfills the promise of the weak mewling underfoot corruptible as white marble turns black with ash seed smeared into paste Cracks filled in Filth caked on Spittle on lips Gaped and choked Open’d from both ends Sodomy as genocide Every orgasm an abortion on the tip of God's tongue
5.
Bare flesh on flesh Sentient receptacle Trawling the world for another catch Spread open and defiled A chosen ritual fetish on an altar of steel and leather Prostrate before a degenerate congregation Mute gesticulating choir Smells of urine and semen and musk All rise All rise Benedictus qui venit in nomine Domini.
6.
Observed desolation The enjoyment of others’ Predatory employment Sized up, dismissed Fight or fuck No quarter given to deserters The beheaded king Carcosian uncle Hanky, yellow, right side Place the human engine on trial Civilization wrecks itself You show me yours I’ll show you mine Written on the skin Once bitten Twice bruised The measure of a faggot against a man: I don’t know my limits I have no shame left to give My secrets have all died No quarter given to deserters
