Casey's Love Affair

Just a boy covering tracks
           On the corner of Wilkens Ave.
           Whispers his passion
           To the salesmen
           Of death!

           Synthesized heaven
           Where high wired souls
           Return to
           The hole
           Sunk into the bed.

           And spectacular rays
           Do not pierce 
           His red lined mirrors.

           Once stained blue
           And young
           And in love - With me.
              
            And now
            He hides his tattoos
            Under a jacket.

            He is still covering tracks.
