Redemption

[Frosty da snowman]

It starts with bass
That deep down pounding
In the head
In the gut
In the arms
In the heart
This is hate
A midnight road and uncaring miles
At 90 the smile comes
The eyes open wide
And that 3am grin spreads
This is black sunshine
These black light shafts
Caressing the hood
Winking
Twinkling
Walking up to kiss your face
Tap dance on your teeth
And waltz down your chin
With the rays comes the chanting
Low like thunder
Mummers and whispers
Half heard rumors
Rising to tribal chants
They have rhythm now
And answer to a master
Growling they come
Bouncing back and forth between the ears
Screams now
And the voices of murderer
Urgent frantic half formed thought
The pleating brays of sheep
Flashing images
Red
Black
Running
Tears
Tragic graphititi on flesh
And still
Raging
Tearing
Impossibly the smile widens
Light ,speed, chants, visions
Overload
Overload
That’s when you scream
Just as dawn hits
110 down a freeway
the sunrise on your back
screaming endlessly into the light filled abyss
screaming at the silence
screaming till finally your standing at work
bitter, blasted, wasted
ironed, pressed, and washed
robot faced
standing
sitting
typing
going through the motions
just waiting for midnight
a full tank of gas
and the madness of king leer.
