Swallowing Sand & Pebbles Janet Kuypers 05/18/10 I didn’t want this world to hear me anymore they’re not worth it so I ate a sponge to absorb my words I ate a candle to melt me down but softness wasn’t working so I ate a Brillo pad this was too rough but nothing’s rough enough, I tell you I’ll keep swallowing sand & pebbles I won’t even wash it down with gasoline Copyright © 2010 Janet Kuypers.
