The Gore of Life

by R. Schmitz

selfcore Motherfuckers microdosing pain
boredom mithridatism the king of Pontus
the fear Of Death a life of entertainment
they Play Dead since birth as dead as a Reborn doll
curled up like a fetus a possum in thanatosis
he rolls over and leaves a kid doing a somersault
against the steep hill against The Motion Of Life
a flight response to fear muscles over pineal gland
movements over soul dodging over Passion
