Emeralds and Sapphires

Human. Strangers in beautiful buildings Bouncing away from each other Conforming to individualism Nostalgia. Pays handsomely for memories Prays haphazardly for miracles Drowning in the sands of time Strife. Hotdog vendors Wasting oxygen and living space Dreaming of superstardom Debt. Trapped in a fishbowl in California Immersed in the abstract Drunk on force-fed cruelty Gravity. Giant magnets everywhere Littering galaxies Fettering free minds Death. Army dreamers making love Two-halves human Tap dancing on Father Time Colorblind. Studded with emeralds and sapphires Caressing each other like a rainforest Brushing against the clear blue sky
