tell

tell everybody
go on
tell them
you want to
what you want to
do to me
show them
use instructive diagrams
live models
impressive tables, graphs, statistics
prove to yourself
its right
its needed
for everybody’s good
especially mine

cos I’m wrong
you broke me
far too deep to fix
your too cheap to fix
the fuse, the wire, the cog, the lie
the heart of the matter
is busted
you screwed too hard
bashed it
up against the ribcage wall
the bars, the cell, the limit
turned the dial
to eleven, twelve, whatever
you’d lost count by that point
blind, drunk, dazzled, dizzy
sparks, bubbles, gas, steam
shooting, thrilling, streaming, seeming
more real than real
more true than a lie detector
you measured your pleasure
and it was off the charts
