life

(circa Spring 2000)


Like the dance of feeding wolves,
is full of paradoxical rules.

Life’s salvation lies deep within,
its pleasure arises from the skin.

Born into a family and you die alone,
in a box they’ll place your bones.

Like sharks in a feeding frenzy,
or the busy street of a city.

By finding love you can avoid its pain
or by putting a bullet through your brain.
