some days we’re all dragon
we bump into things
we open our traps to say something
silly, stupid, ordinary like
pass (hey) the (i) sugar (love) honey (you)
and the house burns down
and
look! (i) fucking (swear) look! (i) now (love) i’m (you) late! (sugar)
for work
and the house burns down
yeah…
i’ve been there
checked my claws too
wondering if this was real
if i was real
if i was among those monster things my parents spoke of
if i was them
yeah…
don’t worry
these’ll fix you right up
one prescription of flowers
and one worst night of your life
no, they won’t do you any good
actually, they’ll kill you
but it’s a good killing
… don’t tell anyone your doctor said that though
seriously
