is it any wonder i can't sleep

i'm getting booted from my home. wrong. grim, graham, grum. wrong


this is not your house

therefore to be booted from your house

you must be in your domicile 


it's only been a week. 

keeping this bed warm for six hours of the days

but grim isn't welcome in this nest.

like some annoying fly landing on the tv screen.


but now i must go.

and it couldn't happen soon enough.

pick up the bag, place a shirt in.

too slow, better place in three.

and when the wrinkles start to show,

it adds to the package.


discontent should go hand in hand with discomfort.

discomfort should go hand in hand with dismay. 

dismay should go hand in hand with wrinkly shirts and shit.


pack up the bags faster grim, 

because you have intruded

in a nest of a lion.

matriarch. patriarch by her side.


and if you don't pack up those bags, and disappear

you'll be eaten,

unlike the rest of the people in your position.


but i guess our parents homes all represent different caves

with different beasts.

this beast in this cage here,

it should be left alone

fur unruffled.


survival of the fittest

and when there isn't a fucking tent,

and you think the cave you recognize your smell in 

is safe,

it's fucking not.


as quickly as inhabitants go, new ones come. 

the fear here is that maybe grim isn't 

a fast moving inhabitant that meander in and out.

that is the fear.

but grim comes,

graham lives,

and when i am gone, 

grum will be no more.


i am anticipate that no more.

maybe that my life

after death

will be much more acceptable.


until then, get the hell out of this nest,

may you have the resources or not to do so,

just do it.
