synth sunshine

Do you remember
Holding sunshine
Blissful days were
Everything feels plasticized
Like lips pressed against yours
Like hips pressed against yours
Like you’re need to feel
And to Novocain the rest?

Well, I remember swallowing bullets
And the slow release inside my belly
An explosion of joy. I remember how
My sunshine has always been synthesized,
Processed, packaged, and sold with a smile
From a mouth missing more teeth
Then the dreams I wake up from.
