Lost Animal

world of screen,
         stay in your 
tunnel.
dig deeper 

into 

nothing,

don't look
take a picture 

~~
stand in line
wait your turn,

the ride is


free.
but ride has
no end 

shave your face
cash your check 
stare into the black 

better have your charger,
or your love 
will die 

lay together in
your ditch 
bleed and die 

die, 
as you constantly 
must entertain mind 

crack the screen 
and just 
think.

use your fork,
whipe your
cheek 
shoot the gun 
says hand to 
trigger

put it on tv,
they'll all believe 

weak willed sheep,
nibble on the
burned grass 

raise your hand
for WE CALL YOU 

~~
shut your mouth 
and stare into the 
black.
sell the cabin 
all wood must 

burn 

pave another street 
not enough cement 

look down,
says the king
rot in the 
cell of a screen 




silence bothers some
~~
love the night, 
a date with 
paper.
love me good 
you never get old

keep me guessing,

the voices right


as I 

watch
