A Nail-Biter's Confession

Nails rain down, the floor is whited out.

In quick tears I spit them out 

So when I leave I’ll always be there.

I’m not dead, I was just visiting.

I’m still in my friend’s rooms, on the street, 

Between isles in grocery stores, in different states.

My little white pieces of DNA stay, I don’t know

Why I tick like this; I’ve always wanted something of mine
