Ex-man

Written by Carl McKinney and Cherie Black

He is a bottom feeding
tube worm, surviving off toxins.

Like a fish absorbing oxygen,
he soaks up kisses

and spews out lies. Never seeing
light(only dark), he thinks

he’s righteous for consuming
noxious matter yet does not realize

he produces the same that he takes.
Filled with blood, he plays a human

but contact persuades he is
a frigid maggot, merely

living
from one moment to the next.
