UNTOUCHABLE

Kneel at the altar

Expect wine from water

Why can't you snap out?

Nothing you care about?

Pills are a cop-out

That you can't live without

You clench your teeth and now you're

You close your eyes, and now the tension is tactile

They lose control but try to

Reverse the role and you might see you as we

A mask is worn and improved

The self is torn and consumed over and over

Confusion of purpose

Clouds a direction

Judgment of self often poorly intentioned

Destruction of progress

Like self-immolation

The magic mistrust chock-full of reservations

Up to the ears in

Fluid corrosion

If you push up those sleeves, best prepare for emotion

Anxious and fearful

Fractured reversal

Of roles played, uncertain, and without rehearsal

Points that beg the question

Connecting lines between to live for, to die for

A mask is worn and improved

The self is torn and consumed over and over
