Paint Thinner (03/07/2015)

This house held up on walls, 
Proud on the outside, barren within.
Our shame strewn in pearlescent coats, rolled on these halls,
clamped-quiet dinners, spilling and spelling

What is it to be an eraser in a planet of taboo? 
Surgeons are a dime a dirty dozen, 
labcoats selling truth out of desperation, 
junkie peddlers, collecting the walking human remains...
