Suffusion (Ode)

Solace in behaviors, oddly popular trends

Then all the sudden, we became friends

Bonded over music, all things innate

Only seven beans, no, not eight

Doomscrollers attempting to bang all the chicks

While we sit and count the limited ticks

The ticks of the clock, the passing of time

He might not admit it, but he likes Sublime

My hypothermic friend lies naked in the snow

And you just sit back and watch the show

The show he screams, the feelings he fights

Fix this, you can’t, not without infinite nights

These nights, they cease, they turn into days

Vacant stares, sad songs to drown out the craze

‘Hey I’m in a band, want to hear it right now?’

‘Allow me to introduce myself, I’ll take a bow’

A bow you don’t see, a sing-along not sung

Like a head to a sewer, like a bean to a mung

Turns out he could really use a friend like me

To learn how to listen, process emotion, you see?

What you see you don’t know, Buscemi I can’t rhyme

No potlucks, just plasticware, to cut through the grime

The grime he absorbs through the bottom of his socks

Thu bad Anal Cunt, wasn’t called Anal Cocks

No mayo, no cream cheese, moist coagulation

An amazingly patient wife always on ‘vacation’

Vacations he visits a Mustaine equipped Spa

Want to see him sneeze? Hand him a catclaw

His mind is a muse, just offer a pen

‘Hey cutie, what’s your name?’ ‘Mine? It’s Ken…’

Plain hotdogs, tequila, a taste so complex

Anything fun and exciting, he absolutely rejects

Deathfest was a highlight, a proud moment indeed

Assonance of hags, no choice but to concede

Spreading stoic as if it were bleeding suffusion

Sounds like Burton, no, there must be confusion

Need inspiration, circle yes or no

It’s 9pm, that means you have to go

No washing, no shrouds, just a funeral suit

He takes out the vacuum, he gives you the boot
