....Dreamscapes....
The red eyed jack said to the yellow eyed queen
Bishop on the back nine towards the black eyed king
Running from a rabbit down a purple parrot chute
Before a gallery of jokers aneath this crimson rising moon
While as a pauper dressed in lavender upon a silverish made mare
Led the ranks of pawns through this, truth or dare....
Checker board white and, checker board square
Billboard confessions to the ravens palm behind the tarot card tree
As the white knight bent his javelin and fell from, her metamorphical steed?
Before these syliphical jesters broke their ranks to, somehow agree
While the yellow eyed jack wiped a fortunes tear from, the red eyed queen....
Children lost; smiling and cheering upon the ruins; this, once golden king!?
