A Letter to Myself Regarding the Nature of Fish

Call me a name
See where that ends you up
Everybody in this room knows I’ll mess you up
But it’s sad because I’m the only one in this room
And the only one still calling anyone names

Spine feels all
All curled up
Head still hurts
Back is still stuck
To the cement
I lay all day in bed
I wait and wait
For a fish to come my way
But they don’t swim in cement

Hey look at that
I’m already split up
Into bite sized pieces
So when you eat me
There won’t be much for you to cut
And who isn’t fucked up?
Who isn’t screwed?
Rhetorical question because
The answer’s apparently you

Spine feels all
All curled up
Head still hurts
Back’s still stuck
To the cement
I lay all day in bed
I wait and wait
For a fish to come my way
But they don’t swim in cement

Everybody’s sad now
So nobody is
Left without a friend
And everybody hates this
But at the same time
I don’t want it to end

Spine feels all
All curled up
Head still hurts
Back’s still stuck
To the cement
I lay all day in bed
I wait and wait
For a fish to come my way
But they don’t swim in cement
