a
vision
set in stone or set in steel or set in echoes
insect cool
where
I will live or where I live or where I lived
I hear it shake the unrequited
dawn
I
suck it dry I struggle against it I give up
and gives me nothing but conditions
an
avalanche of paperwork heretofore whereto
singing
apocalypso
shoveling shit from somewhere anywhere nowhere
I knew what to
expect
young
and old and
covered with old bruises
waiting for strike one strike two strike
while the iron is hot
weak
and dying and
wearing mummy cloth like an Armani tux
all sphinx eyes and
alibis
promise reduced to papyrus
little more than a moving target
I
may be in the driver's seat
but I am ordinary
I
am an all-American dinosaur
extinct fossiled babbled to death
by spinning
dancing skipping gesticulating sideshow has beens
God
doesn't like God doesn't dislike God doesn't play craps
but will He give you
another chance

sign on the dotted line
