Can't Leave

Jeff lay dying

City General his final home

leaving wasn't an option

at least not alive
 

Fresh Fish

The news waits for fish

rolled in paper

sold in alleys

a magic lamp

a secret wish

just what we've waited for
 

Diner

 

With military cadence

insurance from the rain

we wrench the last of our love

feeding our pain

Keeping Secrets

Idle moments

cracking the future

in every alley

where secrets are kept
 

Till time runs out

Our days take us nowhere

circles to chase
 till time runs out

Unsightly

The past is more unsightly than remembered
 

Approach

Our approach gives meaning
 

War

War is the one thing we are good at
 

Foolish Thinking

 

It's foolish to think we're getting anywhere

Housed

 

Housed in our realms

we, unaware

of all the beyond

Eras

Time defines little

eras come and go
 

Deconstruction

To see what really is

we need to deconstruct what isn't
 

Tunnels

Time is a tunnel

we ghosts pass through

looking for what can't be found
 

Refresh

 

Take some time out

refresh yourself

Habits

 

Habits form from necessity...

they're our security from the unknown,

like lines on our face

Shocking

 

Parting his eyes,

Ted was taken back....

another shock to his system,

he knows what comes next

Dream State

 

Ted had an active imagination.

He'd awake several times a week....

In a dream state, ready to take on the world

No Shock

 

The news of his brother's suicide didn't shock Sid.

It was expected.... like a politician

corruption is a way of life

Impossibility

 

The future is an impossibility

it doesn't exist

Fleeing

 

Fleeing won't bring you the freedom you seek..

Naught

Waiting is for naught

 nothing is changed

Collective

 

Our madness is collective

Hanging On

Our hopes mislead us
 leaving us will little to hang on to

Unlearned

 

Moving is our nature

stillness is an effort

something we've unlearned

Confined

We are confined to live in a world that isn't real

built by us to run in our subroutines
 

Around Every Corner

The ups and downs of life

are around every corner

 

Made by us

Heaven like earth

is what we make it

not what we want it to be
 

Toxic Love

Suspicions ran rampant

toxic love does that

loss comes later

 

A matter of where

It's not what's ahead that matters,

it's where you are that does...
