Graven Image
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
