HOW HAVE YOU BEEN? 

A deep inhale and a stomach ache away
from a life so form filling and frame shattering.
When I throw punches I have to dodge them too
I’ve been sleeping with karma, she’s pregnant now too
I only write when there’s a knife to my neck
and when I stop you can only imagine
But the words bore me and the creation aimless
my only reader is a bit of breccia in my brain
and he’s hardly satisfied anyway
why write for the solemn reader
but when I stop you can only imagine
