Fall Apartment from Crime Alive by RATIGAN

You can’t decorate
A fall apartment
No way to make it warm
No spacial arrangement
Natural darkness
No one wants a fall apartment
Fall apartment

I never felt finer
Stripped I can’t conceal it
Toppling my highchair
My sister cartwheels in
The chip in it’s side
Would remain there for years
A pioneer's souvenir

Occasionally
I was viewed as a
Symbol for infinity
A shape I could become
Although what I am
Attempting I don’t know
It’s a strident note

I’d walk through the KB Toys
Eyeshadow in tow
Look at all the noise I’m making
Spending all this dough
I dare you to sucker punch
These glittered chartreuse lips
What a piece of shit

Tony the Tiger
I don’t know if you
Know how grateful we are
For everything that you do
You tell us that we’re great
But you know you’re great too
You’re great too

Life thought it was a circle
Life thought it was a square
Life’s a stupid octagon
Not going anywhere
So lean in going 80
Tears form in the wind
Or sit back in your easy chair
and consider it a win
