how to have a pointless argument

decide that you are right
forget all the times
you have been wrong
create a monster
fear it
scream
until you scare her away
stomp
to make your stabbing point
point label discard
paint the cracked walls of your heart
fire engine red then never
ever leave that bloody murder room
run in circles
off at the mouth
until you are dizzy
until you are sweat
taste the salt
of your enthusiastic effort
stop listening
fuck tears
tighten your hold
on your version of truth
decide that you are mighty
forget that things change
