bright red ingredient list

it happens
that habit is not a necessity
and if you want
to get over the snake
you have to jump,
move quick
and
remember the nearest hospital takes
pure cash ..

it's the burning cigarette
in the bottom of
my sock drawer
that taints
the smell of the open book
wafting for chance
to have more eyes
look over it with that waltz
of love ..

so,
it also happens that when you discover
that
there is no truth to your truth and
that the other truth out there is someone else's
truth
and
the only objective truth is a subjective one built up
in one's own mind,
then
know that you are always right,
but not
always right in
my
book,
nor
the
person sitting next to you ..

so,
jump over that snake,
cause if you walk around it
you
may not agree with yourself ..
