thanks (for Indie's "fail" comp)
I must first thank
the fear of success
and the interaction
between narcissism
and low self esteem
that has brought me to this bedroom.
The bedroom of my childhood,
the one I left fifteen years ago
with the wind to my back
and the stars aligned to my shadow
but then decided to turn around and piss,
to take the kismet of the constellations
for granted
and to laugh at the vacuums behind them.
I would like to thank
childhood naivety
for pulling every fire alarm,
and misjudging the extents of lunacy.
Lastly, any shred of decency
forbids me from thanking her
oh no, that steaming pile of praise
is for me alone
because it is me
who is blessed with sleepless nights
compulsions towards any escape
and the coup-de-fucking-grace,
my mania.
A single tingle given,
can make a sewage worker
feel like an artist.
That is my true love
the thanks for which, can not be transcribed
