Inkmouth

schizophrenic summers

it's humid out

and all my friends are smoking

i'm thirsty

i am shaking

and my mouth is kindling

i sing a dry buzz

the gasoline is silky

down my throat

a schizophrenic blanket

and all my friends are smoking

my mouth is kindling

and i swallow the sparks

and i burn like an effigy

in the summer
