MORE MARIAH (AF #3)

generic proclamations pasted atop

the most spiral staircase

crescendos

and than a hero comes along/

with the strength to carry on

anytime you need a friend/

I will be there

we don’t go dance

instead, cocooned

imagine new desperate

measures

for new desperate

times

how do you party when

you’re going extinct

how do you kiss how do you

siphon your adrenaline

and not devolve into

submission syrup

(when’s the first time you

got really drunk?)

the choir fills

the halls
