The Endless Endings - Clem Snide

The ocean in a line of teeth

All foreign-tasting things inside her mouth

The brackish water drowns the fawns

Pinching buds dissolve the dawn

And the endless endings always timed too late

I swear that I am good

I’ve been misunderstood

The wheelchair pusher pushed too far

The bones were bleached and soaked in tar

By men with feathers sticking to their views

The grinding organ monkeys dance

With shiny coins shoved down their pants

By callused hands from splitting all the wood

And she showed me only with her eyes

And watched me as I crawled inside

I felt the wires hum beneath her skin

I swear that I am good

I’ve been misunderstood
