Savage Integration

Painting pretty inside pretty lines
Verbatim is not what it used to be
Pretty could mean pretty ugly
Seeing all round things as leader board signs
Talk alphabet soup about being strung together for serious
For now I need all that I can grab to be reassured that I am not falling
They all fail and fall at different rates until one sink doesn't mean
swim
Constant forceful reassurance
On how to objectify probation
Healthy grain belt and socially secure
At four in the morning the onset of herpes
Biggest fattest herpes swimming in tea cup and among tea leaves
Particularly this early in the flare up
Wrap warm compress on that flare up
People don't know they have a right to privacy with regard to flare up
To ear mark an account
Would mean meddling not Melding
Buck is "hot" for Lil C and shakes you up inside
Cut deep like your mother is strung out
Mother as executioner and sounding board
Judge and jury as mother and I sound bored

Thanks, Jessica :) Borne in on frustration, impulse, and necessity.
