I don’t have time
to fall off the edge of the world today
the horizon can fuckin wait
there’s a buzz in my chest
like i swallowed a storm
too sharp
too fast
and lightnin got stuck in my throat
and refuses to leave

I hate my pulse
how it mocks me with its rhythm
knock
knock
knock
trapped inside a house I can’t burn down
a joke that keeps repeatin
a voice that won’t shut up
tellin me I’m alive
til I almost believe it

I imagine
splittin my skin
and diggin in
catchin a vein between my fingers,
pullin
a ribbon
red spillin
endless
where it never runs out
proof of the pulse
I love to hate

I don’t have time
to fall off the edge of the world
not when the air tastes like this
not when every second
feels too loud to waste
I don’t have time
to collapse
to fall
to test the void
not today
but I’ll squeeze it in tomorrow
on my way out the door
