I want to pawn my grave
but they tell me it is worthless
and want my skin instead.
the sky meets a pickpocket
who lifts the sun and sells it on eBay.
roosters' GoFundMe falls short.
the world spins but produces no cloth.
naked world, let me know you, and love you.
it responds with acid ink on sandpaper.
I buy the sun and slaughter the roosters.
I set the world on fire but die alone.
I miss my skin but have lost the ticket.
