The madhouse is all around us
This crazed emporium
Human beings forced to live like tattered dolls
Marching from home to war
Gnats in your dreams
Mannequins in the kitchen
Cooking eggs and toast
Percolating coffee
The ropes of defeated men
Wrap around rafters
The noose like a porthole
Looking out at the long sea of goodbye
The yawn of the great ocean
Sleep in magical orbit
A spaceship oscillating
Gravity all nonsense now
