As You’re Told | EXPLICIT

When they went to the beach there was nothing left


Everyone was there

Everyone Was


They ate the life from The Sea until it became an ocean to cross


Othersided we walk

You’ve seen the pathways

You have run upon them


not on them.

can’t have them


Above and beyond is not always open and wide


Vacuum clean imagined futures until hypothetically palpable


Climb a tangent until you broke the branch

Break the branch off


Is dinner over.

May I be excused?


Curtsy like the facetious fuck that you are

Slightly pulling skirts up can be believed courteous while known to falsify the norms of courtesy


Breath into a brown paper bag insulated by plastic


Suffocated life as an orange dripping juices


punctuated sponge




Spangle the banner

Right until seeing stars,


Up above what?

sit.

that’s a good boy


Do unto others as you’re told to do

Because I said,”so”.
