POETS ARE GRAVEDIGGERS THEY COME THEY LOOT THEY GO THEY RANSACK LIKE VICTOR ARMIES
PILLAGING AND RAPING AND LOOTING MY BLOOD IS MORE WATER
THAN BLOOD TO THE PEOPLE BRAVING A FLOOD OUR BLOOD IS MORE WATER THAN BLOOD IN GENERAL EVERYWHERE ALL ALONG THE ARTERIES AND VEINS THE LABOUR PAINS THE LABOUR'S PAINS I FEEL ENRAGED BUT THIS BUBBLE OF FUCKING PRIVILEGE ENSURES I DO NOT FEEL ENGAGED POETS ARE GRAVEDIGGERS THEY WILL BUILD YOU A BEAUTIFUL MAUSOLEUM WHITE AND SHINY WHITE AND SHINY ALABASTER BUT THEY WILL SUCK YOUR CONTENTS DRY TILL THEY HAVE THEIR LIQUID
INSPIRATION THE CURDLING OF MILK AND THE SOUR SOUR WORLD THE CULPRIT CHEESE MADE FROM CONCENTRATED TEARS AND ALL MY FEARS AND ANXIETIES ARE BEATING AGAINST AN OUTSTRETCHED DRUM AND THE CACOPHONY IS DROWNING
POETS ARE GRAVEDIGGERS THEY WILL CHEW YOU UP AND SPIT YOU OUT AND SAY FUCK YOU DEDICATED TO YOU COMPOSED IN YOUR MEMORY
STAMMERING PERJURY POEMS ARE LIES AND POETS ARE GRAVEDIGGERS DONT LINGER NEAR ONE DONT TALK TO ONE THEY MIGHT JUST STEAL A LIMB BEFORE YOU'RE DEAD AND TRY TO COMPOSE A BLANK VERSE MASTERPIECE POETS ARE GRAVEDIGGERS BEWARE BEWARE IF THE WORLD STAYED A SQUARE POETS ARE GRAVEDIGGERS POETS ARE GRAVEDIGGERS
