frozen orgasm

[scott joplin]

i inhale the smell of laughter
i love the way the joyful tears
roll down my cheek but after
the moment is displaced by my fears

i smile at every opportunity
break rules whenever i can
because i feel as though it's my duty
it's my only value: the only thing i am

i need to spoon the stars
need to drink the shine of the moon
nothing in the universe is too far
because it'll be over soon

so i'll sever the chains the restrict me
or else i'll never get to be free
