Never Sunny In Brooklyn

She came in through the front door,

Every step for sale to darken the day.

The chips in her teeth stain violence,

Scratching endlessly against my frozen skin.

Some chocolate for your dog?

The drum forgot to sing last night

As I wander through passages of lies.

Is she good with children?

Iron strings tighten the flakes

Drowning in self loathing.

She burns in angry silence.

With every bark disrespect

And every smile sold

For a promise of a sunny Brooklyn.
