Endless time on endless roads

God’s crows sweep the sky

Death black against orange

It looks like Halloween

Even though today

Is the day of green

Follow the green brick road

To Isolation City

A stark, brutalized McDonald’s

Out in the overgrown forest

That used to be the edge of town

The Burbs

Where the outcasts and misfits used to live

Getting high and listening to Rush

Aimed at the horizon

My body flows

Toward the glow

At the end of the road

Wandering cliffside

I see stories on the ancient walls

The space people who came before

To impart knowledge

To design and build

Landing, launch pads smooth as glass

Beings from the future

Or beings from the past

The idiocy of our planet

Never surpassed

And stupidity is glorified

Murals of morons painted on edifices of lies

A black smog engulfs my head

Sometimes I wonder how I might die

This is bleak house today

But the sun shines

And my mind is high

Sometimes I feel old and worthless

Think I’m doing the right thing

But it never turns out that way

Feel like a scam and a scoundrel

Even when I just sit here and nod off to sleep

To dream those mini dreams

Those wild picture shows before my eyes

Alternate realities feel so good

To be somewhere else

Besides this crazy world

And isn’t it just crazy

This is all just so drifting

I should wrangle my thoughts

Put them all in neat little rows

And start all over again

Until then I’ll just shut up

Everything I say

Is just kindling anyway.
