Graven Image

Chaos With

I see you about to walk past

A stupidly arrogant smile playing across your wickedly perfect features



I tore my glance away by lowering my head

Mostly because I'd been headbanging earlier

And I was on a couch, so it hurt to look up

But also because I'm a lazy motherfucker

That can't pay attention to anything for long periods of time



My eyes averted, I watched my foot slide forward

Seemingly of its own accord

Watched your right ankle catch on mine..



And then it happened

It was so beautiful



You lurched forward with a perfect spread-eagled form..



In the brief moment I saw your face

I would swear that your mouth and eyes were the same size..

And all three circles were perfect O's



Some instinct told the ocean of people before you to part

I felt like your God as you smacked onto the carpet



I am your graven image
