Baby Gadget
scarleht crying and wanting mama to come back to papa’s home
“becca and papa, owie” – lyl
a day of easy lines elliciting hard thoughts
“goodnight fire in the book” – s, referring to the fireplace in Goodnight Moon
they care more about their pillows than they do which side of the bed they’re on
“papa hurt inside”
“papa no read books” - goddamn, this one made me run in the laundry room and cry while pretending to turn the dryer on.
there’s nobody that wouldn’t hurt you if it helped them
funny how yer smile opens the parentheses
the tuba is the only instrument which can approximate a distress call
“As some warn victory, some downfall
Private reasons great or small
Can be seen in the eyes of those that call
To make all that should be killed to crawl
While others say don't hate nothing at all
Except hatred.
Disillusioned words like bullets bark
As human gods aim for their mark
Made everything from toy guns that spark
To flesh-colored Christs that glow in the dark
It's easy to see without looking too far
That not much
Is really sacred.” – Bobby D.
