This River

A river suddenly appeared

Seemingly out of nowhere

Can’t be stopped by your hands

Or your friends, or your poetry

And this river just keeps on flowing

Could it be from deep within?

Or from that wide dreadful grin?

Now it seems you’ve forgotten where you’ve been

This river just keeps on flowing

And filling all your rooms with

Uncontrollable, filthy water

Ripping off the colors you’ve put up on your walls

This river just won’t stop drowning

This river just keeps on flowing

Until that thing that beats

Has cut it’s harmony from the world.
