Independence Day

Blue notes in purple lines; breaking telefaxed
World news a drop of blood trickling; moist lips 
Hungry for more these factory boys as girls; props
Their silhouettes raising his white washed cue cards
Blackballoon, playing on the radio racing to her editor
New York Times live at five this first edition regurgitated..
Pages ripped from trash bins and has been but another day
Here at the office of slip knot ties as mini skirt lies blue notes 
Purple lines in suicide bombers breaking news we win you lose.

Happy 4th:)
