Oh How Boring
I've been waiting a long time to die
but I made a promise to death
not to cheat him out of his prize,
I told him I would live
not happily though,
and he said thanks,
cause it's an even darker road when you go it alone,
I will walk you past the burning fires
I can lead you to where you shall never tire
but you'll have to wait for me,
only I can glide across eternities seas
without me, you will surly sink
with a sigh I agreed,
and now I wait
for death to come collect me
but I made a promise to death
not to cheat him out of his prize,
I told him I would live
not happily though,
and he said thanks,
cause it's an even darker road when you go it alone,
I will walk you past the burning fires
I can lead you to where you shall never tire
but you'll have to wait for me,
only I can glide across eternities seas
without me, you will surly sink
with a sigh I agreed,
and now I wait
for death to come collect me

Fuck yeah, firespitter! When you meet your creator, let her know you didn't waste any of what you were given. Watch Death lug the heaviest, staunchest, raunchiest soul he ever reaped, watch his legs falter and slow under the weight of the life you experienced.

me too
but appreciate (& revel in) the absurd bizarre paradoxymoronic reality that creates itself .
it helps to cultivate the counter-delusion that none of this shit is 'personal' (as we been conditioned to 'believe'), & that the shit wee think is being done 'to me' is part of the same painful pathos that We All, even the 'happy', prosperous, 'exceptional', 'beautiful' people are suffering & smileyface killin theyselves to keep hidden...
but again...I'm probably wrong....especially in the Court of Popular Dualist Opinion
Nikki, you doing deals with the devil again?
I came unstuck on line 11 and thought perhaps it would flow freely with... "only I can glide across eternal seas" or if not maybe "eternity's seas" is what was intended.
Very cool write, always dig your stories.
