Burroughs that Burrows

william s. burroughs
burrows under your skin
like the needle in vein
the prick of a pin

Dilluted and cloudy
and streaming within
morbid and dark
and concentrated sin

old bill burroughs,
the dire straights you were in
get back on the JUNK
for no reason, just a whim

and shoot your wife dead
in the head
and not get caught
or serve a day in jail
getaway impromptu plot

Why get back on,
when you can't get off?
the writer of "Queer"
had tastes a little off

from the general population
he was different and unique
living in squallor
breaking through the bleak

and well-respected, by his neighbors and peers
Jack Keroac, had his back throughout the years
A dark side exists, and it is like a blister
must be popped, and drained of venom's whisper

But it's even more like, the scab on an arm
poked and prodded, and discharged harm
down the plunger, and into the vessels
buy they're not a junkie, they think their special

well Willam Burroghs was, and remains to this day
cuz without darkness, no light to light the way
