Companion



You think you got some kind of
         boon companion, that lights your
path and makes you skip and fly over
       the heavy road.
looking at her, you see a pretty sunrise when
     it's a forest fire coming
         to turn you into ash and grinning teeth
Or how about  a cherry red, shiny-dream-vacation
         throttle open,
            facing the wind,
      stroking the road
                   her hands around you
              right into a
brick wall covered in busted glass
     she    
makes your feelings jump like bullets in
              a furnace.
       This feeling, my friend?
              it's the ugly cousin of Love....

  It's a wriggling pink
           demon that
    will bring you down.

you gotta throw it in a iron
   cage and stab it through
     the bars, smash it against the doorway
            kick it down the stairs and
        into traffic.
 then, drag it to the  river
        ,throw it in so
          it gets shit out
                      into the ocean
         so this pretty little disaster
                  gets crushed into the darkness
                             and eaten by a cold black squid.
