At The Bottom...
Seething vinyl textured elements
Crawl against my skin
Abrasive to my senses
I see you thru your paint
I see into your sewage
Death would stink less
Would hurt less
I am worthy of more than i am
And less than i have to endure
I am here now because i had to be
And didn't have to be
I am at the bottom. alan j.epstein 7/08
