SOMEONE WHO REFUSES TO REMEMBER WHO THEY ARE ~ words: I fell in love with a con man He conned me outta some smiles and a few flighty years but a storyteller never allows a single smile to go to waste He tried to steal my spine cause he didn't have his own I thought I heard him roar once Turns out, it was just the television He's got fire in his birth chart - a flirty, flaunting Leo is a good time But this flash-dancing would-be king is fueled by some quite misguided passion - that tiny jawbreaker heart on fire destroys everything in its path like a bowling ball knocking down the girls, blazing down the alley with a passive aggressive >ball drop< Ha! And a cowardly lion is no match for me I was born year of the dragon so My soul came prepared but thanks for the story, man I am grateful for every lie, every smirk, every knife in my back, every spine-stealing intention that I easily dodged I will use it all wisely The Devil can only hold the power we give away freely He gonna learn now about that four-letter word he loves so much (burn) And I wonder, then will he take the time out to look through his inner child's eyes at the wonder of the boomerang ©CRK / Holy&intoxicated Press 2021 *First published on Horror Sleaze Trash Also appears in the book, Escape from Narc Island Genre Spoken Word
