Cliche Beach

Cliche beach

Standing upon cliche beach 
With waves of banality 
Beating at my feet
 I scribble 
Crimson skies
 Rising over sparkling seas
 I rip I tear 
Fumbling grumbling 
I kick into touch 
English is great language
 For selling chickenshit to strangers 
But not for elusive phantoms 
Who lurk beneath
 The fallacy of daily ritual 
I have no crown of thorns 
No existential pain 
Only words crawling in my brain
 Who fail to congeal to any useful being
