Monday night rage

gyrating, undulating wildly
while I'm bumping 
and grinding it out
I'm wasted 
leave me alone 
where am I gonna be for a while? 
losing my mind 
it's the springtime
white wining, and crying 
before tying my life to another, 
living under the cover of moonlight:
I get right when it shines 
my sight gone blind 
and I find 
a peace of mind, 
a diamond fire cole mine
of desire, haven't I met you before? 
yeah man i fell through your trap door, 
let you come in my back door 
and since, i'm feeling sour
more so every hour
of every year 
I fear something new:
something true 
comes from being blue
being used, left bruised,
and bemused 
and belied, 
feeling beside myself
and outside my self,
despite myself
i'm fighting my self 
inside myself,
I surround myself 
with those who hold me 
until what I am is a wagon wheel, 
going gray on a film reel 
that chips my hands 
into rusted beams: 
broken seams
on stonewash jeans 
and magazines proclaiming prophesies, 
I lost my car keys again, 
where are my keys man? 
ask me please man, 
and I'll help you, 
I'm striving to help you 
but I can't help you 
if you ain't gonna let me 
make a fool of me:
I see between the lines 
on your forehead, 
furrowed in your bed sheets, 
buried red and bundled with blue, 
take me back 
a white flag, 
sling me 
over your shoulder 
and do me no harm:
shepherd a flock of fools 
who have lost all their gumption, 
a human malfunction,
your skin is bleating 
out your pores, 
the sun 
has blotted out your Lord 
and rolled him in a spliff:
Jesus ruins good guitar riffs 
and splits me like bamboo:
I'm having a good old time, 
having a fool around 
and biting my lip now,
confusing night for day, 
there's got to be another way 
to say what you want to say 
without alienating your audience, 
making available your consciousness 
and splaying it open and naked.
