Slipshod Sonnet #21

Again I'm hearing tiny town ultimatums
But just caulk it together later
The pain is only the beginning
& you all Boba Fett about it and shit
My brother the Super G champeen
Only afraid when the screaming ceases
Endless sustain sustain sustain
The source of some baby's future dread
If you feel lost in my arms
How do you think I feel lost in my arms?
Talk about a Rembrandt cover
Camouflaging a stick figure interior
The trouble with snuffed hopes is
They never stop smoldering
