I spoke with my father today
he told me about everything I never remember
	and elegantly avoided that time
	I had burning iron in my eyes
wouldn't you?

I threw up today
and never wanted it to end
	I wanted to see my stomach in my hands
	I always desired to stamp on it
	and see it burst
wouldn't you?

I dialed her number
let fingertips slide over the buttons
not too hard
soft and gentle movements
(yes, I use skin lotion)
	but just in case
	I pulled the plug out of the wall
wouldn't you?

I watched tv for a while and laughed
I sat at the computer for a while and laughed
	I knocked out two teeth against a wall and cried
then I read a book and laughed
wouldn't you?

I read Hitler today
his words are harsh and old books smell good
	old walls smell like shit but are harsh anyway
	and I give up when I don't see them fall
wouldn't you?

I went to my bed and stopped breathing
but started again after a while
	everyone was naked in my dream
but when I woke up I felt
that I should cut off my dick
	and throw it on a garbage dump
	somewhere next to an old radio
wouldn't you?

there is a thin line
between truth and murder
	I cross it every day
wouldn't you?
