Walls of Mucus

It's a virus
It's a strain
Pulsating
And bulged

Given life
Given wood
Campfires
Ash branded

The side I need
Clear the most

Stirs when caked in
Walls of mucus

Mouth agape
Suffocation

I'd rather not see blood
In my lifetime

Mirrors
Dear mirrors
Pointed down avenues
Blinded the street signs

History
My complication
Hits in a backyard
Fights by my neighbors

When clean shaven
Faces arrive

Dripping deep with
Walls of mucus

Mouth agape
Wild courage

I'd rather not see blood
Gutsy midriff

You'll make the same mistake
In multitudes
Under the weather
Under a frightened gaze

Wipe that dirty nose of ours
Turn into quartz
Fell on a crack
Bathing in vile fluids

Leaking plans
You had for the road

Leaking architecture
Substance of ceilings

Pathetic sniffling
Children from midriffs

Disturbing sniffling
Webbed your liquid hands

I'm too old for it now
Mucus runs in our families

I'm too old for it now
Pus with cholesterol

I'm too old for it now
Sticky habits

I'm too old for it now
Sticky taffy
Immaturely
Germ parties

Mucus from the mind
The mind runs in our families
