fly crows, like the ocean waves in the air swells
the dust always hovers here
cities of defunct palms, smog and street tacos
fly me out of here so I can breathe air again
like the strange man hanging by the doorway
asking a handshake for a life, he's everywhere
walking through fountains in the sky
in the cascading thunderbolts of rock frozen in the clouds
and out of the lake crawls her majesty
scowling at me through shimmering hollow face
drive- thru martini lounges grab at my coat with embarassed eyes
on this lonely planet in the shitty part of town
when was the world so young and sweet?
a gentle kind worded lady that made you feel.
in her night light you fell asleep
with her days you felt life.
"how fortunate I am to share her oceans and cities."
you were small, and the world was big.
Untangled and perfect through the glass.
embrace the flashing blurs of time
they fly through you now as you grow
roll in the weeds, feel the poison seep into your skin
rub your eyes and fall down
heart crossed, waiting to die.
fan the flames but don't stare too long
say nothing un-important, think nothing too important
play the game, win, and grab grab
take all the cake, gnaw and stab your way out
you've given them your mind and body already
why would anyone want your soul?
please walk the other way, you're making me sick.
a running stickman, empty, but completely full of shit.
who knows how it ends
I'll always be on the next flight out.
