Radical Individualism

"...the words haunt me..."

Radical Individualism
(For Jax)

Haven't been writing
Still the words haunt me
You're my tolling bell

Swing low
Eat lots of vegetables
Sweet chariot

You're a pistol
Carved out of the ether
No bullets necessary

We're all radicals
Exhaling truth
Inhaling fever dreams

Haven't been writing
God plays peek a boo
I roll over like a mutt
