They Rush Past Me

(They) Rush past me With the rest of humanity Past the catches (break) In the winds The grazing (pleasures) (The) raw and (bitter) Creating the new ecosystems Of some future minds It’s just cold—don’t (shiver) Lie they screech In languages un-human (inhuman) The (last) supper Was left uneaten (forever) Leave the riffs Unsatisfied (Idolized) Slightly off-key and open So your hearts (are) left draining Hear the emptiness Feel… (desperately) Gibberish, half-baked Disjointed, grotesque These prematures-- Ejected from my mind (packed) Too full of the things to come Spilling unto today (of all days) All my seeds of tomorrow’s (genius) Oh never mind that Spend those disparate lines (And) so nobody understands Agonized Just you (stupid) words Leave me alone You’ve created nothing Drug me down
