Do You Think it Hurts to Drown? by Frizzy J

Do you think it hurts to drown?

I think the lungs become snow-globes

Filled with driftwood and bloated corpses

Like hurricane season for a tiny fishing town

All three docks are splintered in the shrieking winds

And all the people hide and pray as thatch and sod are ripped away

And do they cease to lay

Or chance a run for shelter

The risk of debris and wind and rain is nothing

When every option bares the same choice:

Stand and die, stay and die, run and die

So… what should I do?

Stand and die? Stay and die? Run and die?

Gale force and splinters wide as doors aside,

Do you think it hurts to drown?

Who are You? by Frizzy J

Who are you? I see you most nights Smoking cigarettes, Crosslegged on hard blue chairs Silent Your gaze never lingers long I follow suit...
