THE TWEAKER'S DIRGE

YOU played the rapacious savage!

Raping me, spreading my nerves wide

Penetrating the depths of my psyche

Rendering my soul blind to all

Except your white clouds of beauty!

I sucked in your euphoric melody

Through red-orange flame...

Crystal, perfect, maniacal;

And blew you out to view visages

Of freaks and monsters which glare

Their reality through my eyes!

You really cranked me up into

My own special box of tricks!

My posse? ...spoon, water, needle and hit after hit

Yeah, twelve hours of weird and wonderful!

Can't stop,

Won't stop,

Why stop?!

I'm your "twist", a deadly sycophantic

Fearless bitch murdering truth in order

To hear the "siren" call of the syringe.

I hide among filth and chaos

Like a vampire; day sleeping, night waking.

I hide where "they" won't look!

Beware of diseased criminals, berserk

Ministers and crying mothers -- enemies all!

Oh well, this body disappears from within

Imploding putridity -- humanity disappears

In HIV and Hep B and C invasions!

What's left is not recognizable;

Even God won't find me dying.
