fasting

fasting all day
driving too fast
with no brakes
no breaks
the only thing breaking
is news
of my eventual demise
dem eyes that stare
as i fall
down the stairs
laissez faire
unfair
the blue ribbon ceremony
at the county fair
prize winning
whining
winging it
flying
over the steering wheel
wheels up in ten
ten little nine little eight little
cultural appropriations
inappropriate
in all settings
the setting sun
son of a gun
cocked locked and shot
shot my full load
on the first hand dealt
deal with it
strike back
strike out
hunger strike
hunger pains
fasting all day

second verse same as the first
