Bluestocking
[A]dept
It’s ok to smell like fish if you’re a Seattleite
 Traveling through space in a ship, oh shit my bad, I mean a satellite Hosts a crew of five of a certain height 
Might be a hive pile drive, nah driven, corrected with some snark Thinking I could thrive in this kinda dark
 Hit the dimmer, a chance to show I got more than a loud bark
 Short of stature I’m a behemoth
 Reading lips 
Fleet of foot I still rattle the Earth
 Sign of the times some might call a birthmark One thing I’ve learned it can always get worse
 Discerning who in the clan gets to eat first 
I thirst for M1A1 flames
 Like my ICE cooked well done on the stage of apathy 
More than happily slash the tires or tapestry 
A hundred lashes for the flagellant at the back of the abbey
 The exsanguination an open tab
 Pay when convenient 
Old hen with a single stroke of a pen
 Make it expedient
 Drifting smoothly into a chromatic mediant Wreaking havoc on the obedient 
It’s easy, trivial
 All you gotta do is what’s feasible
 A tea spoon of measly soon to be grease Grecian urns depicting mirth a museum in Tbilisi A head full of killology myths of rebirth Beastly or embarrassing?
 Sunk like debris in the Bering Sea Flea treatments in dreams of green time 
Space and time are the same 
Time is strange
 The spaces in which I remain
 The shadows snitch from a place just out of frame
 The race is lacking a finish line Acting like bloodhounds exist to solve crime Sounds emit from underground
 Clouds migrating like the birds do 
It’s past curfew
 You can honk like a goose or tell the truth Strike it from the record or jump from the roof 
It’s on you to choose The sky may be blue for now but the new dawn brings an invitation to fly off and die alone
