Somewhere in the Ks? (Between Joyce and Legion)

I could slide under the the trucks as they come.
When I think of the bone-jolt, it makes my skin hum.
Or I could step onto sacred ground
and throw my fists at everyone around.
I could isolate youth and trust
and thrust and thrust and thrust and thrust,
Which would probably also start a fight
I could dig Cobain's great vise into my eye
Or take some construction paper, cut, and slide.
I could tug and fondle and fiddle.
I could take a knife, slice it right down the middle
For a laugh, I could play in the crunch or the red,
For a laugh that leaves everyone crying instead.
I don't know what game, and I don't know why,
But I don't want to play it unless I could die.
