a body sloppily strung together
flesh of bent-up beaded bones and naked questions
the preservative flavor
and the aching point that speaks at night
between the teeth
as a bed drenched in bad habits
sails through the dream-sweat ocean
meanwhile, a rattling spaceship returns to earth
carrying the unseen heart of you
in a twisted up plastic bag
like a fish from the fair
and when you pry yourself open,
the body begs no
please
you wipe your hands on your pants
a mechanical action
to dissuade the choice of it all
the choice

I have a bed drenched in bad habits, I tried to wash the sheets once and ended up washing my phone with it.
probably was an inadvertently healthy move.
