Bigger Boys
In lieu of sex and drugs
I got into the poetry of dead men
I wandered lonely as an orphan
Working in a Christmas toy factory
Unmade for this world of pain
I skid and fall
On the slippery, slippery leaves
Don’t want to give all my money
To the bigger boys
With their confident fists
Stay down, stay safe
Stay out for the count
Let bigger beasts eat their fill
Or get up, look tall, put up a fight
Spit out a tooth, cough up a lung
Play dead, suck it up
Feel the paw on your chest
It’s only pride and money
Or get up, look tall, put up a fight
Spit out a tooth, cough up a lung
I’ve been living dangerously
Bending spines of books I don’t read
In light of recent events
I’m reading up on
Sun Tzu and The Art of War
I’ll grab hold of life
By the neck, in my fingers
Like a slippery, slippery fish
I’m training, toughening
Like a montage sequence
Of Rocky Balboa
Stay down, stay safe
Stay out for the count
Let bigger beasts eat their fill
Or get up, look tall, put up a fight
Spit out a tooth, cough up a lung
Play dead, suck it up
Feel the paw on your chest
It’s only pride and money
Or get up, look tall, put up a fight
Spit out a tooth, cough up a lung
