Would You Like To Sell This Or Pawn It?

the wolf is standing in the doorway of time

and he so wants to eat

the wolf needs to make a deal-

but he does long for the good old days

when he could sink his teeth in your pretty flesh

the wolf needs to make a deal-

hollow

self-serving

plastic

dreams

the wolf needs to make a deal-

lifetimes

potential

integrity

honor

the wolf needs to make a deal-

oh, but how tasty you would be

your life dripping from his fangs

the wolf needs to make a deal-

selling the promise of your desires

to the clown just beyond the doorway of time

the wolf is the infinite sadness

patient zero in this epidemic of despair

selling his desire long ago

a feeding tube pumps in the life with just a little endorphin kick

he feels like he’s on the hunt and that’s ok

until the muscles twitch and the nostrils flair

his fate now grounded-

clown cock in the back of his throat

a reminder of his subservience

back to the grind wolfie-

“college degree eh? would you like to sell this or pawn it?”
