Rescue Me
Please
sweep me
under the carpet
force me
to swallow
this sugar pill
Embalm my head
with deceipt
Rinse
and repeat,
follow me down to the banks
or River Styx
and curse the skipping stones
as they are picked...
...this image never leaves: (She)
touching face,
scratching smooth legs
and knees,
and
I'm underwater gasping,
choking
lungs smoking
and blowing
tug boat out for lost tow,
not comprehending
the ebb and flow
of
the ways of the world...
Reality Adieu !!
bless you
Katchoo !!,
Koo - Koo
