...island's end...

for now
I can leave
at the end
of this day

end this beating
end this
end this inflation

the island belongs
to Jersey by proximity

my face is bashed here
like a botched robbery
over and over again

for now
I can leave til fall
when I come
back for the next round

you can see it
for yourself
if you want to

but you don't
want to

and I have to come
back for more
beatdowns

because the island
holds my cut-man
and he doesn't travel

over the bridges
due to fear of living

there is much more
to fear on this island
namely, depravity.
