the passenger

Alongside he rides
breathing hypnotically
almost deliciously
like a triple chocolate brownie
I guiltily indulge

His name
many things
to each one of us

I envy some of you
flapping in the wind
loose and flabby
stronger than He

I can't get Him out
He's stuck 
He stinks
He wants me
Down
or Lost
in a crowd
swallowed whole

I've seen Him large
He filled my room
He swoops He cries
a warful sound

When He's small
I've won
I think
beside me Bright
behind is Gone

no
it's a trick
He splits and splatters

He's got you now
stealing Beauty

I can't grab him
with my Love

He's too slippery dark
molasses mud
filthy heart
less
Parasite

He gathers it all 
the Shit we
shake out
expel
explode

He keeps it warm
Alive

a throbbing
pulsing 
Bomb

tick 
tick
