Stalemate

sticky like krazy glue

bubblegum stuck to my shoe

propensity to feel a single touch

but I'm not made to cry that much

because my steel might rust

I feel too much to just be still

I move quick but not in a rush

I work too much like a still

to a lush running a tab

tired of waiting but still patient

counting every tock of the clock

that ticks adding up to a stop

misery is being miserable

I'm too harmful to be sorrowful

too forgiven to be remorseful

what do I have to be sorry for

only self-pity pitches tent cities

it's enough footprints in the gritty

pardon me but some folks watch

too much TV believing what they see

heads on others folks bodies

too much croppin and photo shoppin

delusions that promote confusion

a brain disease gone viral

setting flames like a pyro

fiery colored tears sliding down

the cheeks of humanity

cohesively adhesive and cleaved

together to draw a conclusion

filled with rumors and armed

with vicious tendencies

sucking on hard candy

like melted jolly ranchers

savored like life savers

a pack of 5 gum in my pocket everybody

wants some to chew and spit out
