Pluto

My head is like an H-bomb.
I feel my vessels constringe
like a ton of nitroglycerin
packed into a syringe.
I want to go to Pluto
because I belong on the fringe.

My skin is inside out.
Everything has gone astray.
There's nowhere I can go
and nowhere I can stay.
Please take me to Pluto.
I need to be far away.

There's a yawning void above us.
The sky is in pieces on the floor.
The ocean has exploded.
There are skeletons on the shore.
I need to be on Pluto.
I can't stay here anymore.

Everybody seems unconscious.
Everyone's a hypocrite.
Everything is sinking
into a pitch-black pit.
Take me home to Pluto.
It's the only place I fit. - Jeff Barnes
