frozen images

of fatal scrimmages

I am a voyeur

of pain and greed

color video

more than a curio

I am the monitor

of what you need

 

a noose around the neck

only more so

I watch you take a bullet

to the torso

 

life imitates, life imitates

life imitates death

even before the start

beside your beating heart

you were taking your last breath

in a moment, in a moment

living in the moment

 

tune into this dispatch

a new disease to catch

I am the doctor who

sends out goodbyes

hold on to this ideal

and order your final meal

I am the surgeon who

carves out your eyes

 

a pill under the tongue

we're all burning

to swallow it and

quench this yearning

 

life emulates love

the pain and loss and

life emulates love

reigning over all and

 

life emulates love
