I saw them there
As they slowly burned down
Clinging together until they were one
The ground was littered
With love from one another
Until it was swept aside
A brand new trap
Waiting for the youth
To come inside
It was beautiful
And sad
As all things are
With feathers singed
And flapping mad
This world has never changed
So don't follow it down
That rabbit hole
That drives us all
To forget
Insane
Around
Across country
Down, right, down
On hoods of cars
Touching the chill
To feel what it feels
Were they clutching something
Other than themselves?
Stamping out the devil
From the souls of their shoes?
Down, down, down
With nothing to lose
Except what you leave on the ground
The solitary mark
The proof
That never fades
Like the flames
The fire
The breath
The
The
The
The
Please
Not the clamor and the clatter
The glamour and my stammer
Stud
Er
Err
Error
Stutter
Stuttering on
As if it matters
I only have a telescope
So don't attempt
To look at me
It must be sorted out
Alphabetically
Ironically
Before you are picked out
Of the trash bags
You wear as rags
Dance
Dance
Dance
In those rags
To the ragtime blues
That we move to until they are piping hot
Burning red with those dark hues
Bringing levity to the clubs
And the boys sprinkled with laughter
And love or what they want
For what they need
Something deeper
Then simply a deed
It is all noise
Static terms on paper
Not moving
Wrinkling words
Into lips curled around bottles
Babbling brooks of holy profanity
Eating up the childhood
And verbal space in Its mind
Hitting the grind
And the frightened beings looking to find
Something different than what is
What was promised
The glorious list
Of faults and improvement
Down infinity road
Until there is no more room
On the narrows
Widening views of perception
Until prescription
Is in view
Always in view
But too drugged to see
Fuzzy feelings
Of mediocrity
And Déjà Vu
That the night always loves to repeat
With the Sun scolding
It's delinquent owl
Never losing sight of you
Always in view
And it never stops
Love it never stops
It never Stops
Love
Live
Over
Die
Love
Stop
