Match Light In Daylight

"MATCH LIGHT IN DAYLIGHT" Sam Kinisin had laryngitis the yellow brick road was checkered a child stands in the corner for punishment the woman in glasses screams at 8:53 AM I save the girl from drowning and she tells me I owe her one the observation wheel spins while the soldiers invade the beaches black men hold leaf blowers white men stretch out red tape and the uneducated Chicanos fight blindly against tyranny she wants progress in her building blocks I hold trepidation as she forms her substructure we bump in our cars until the day we decide to use them for travel I'm torn between breaking your neck and throwing you down the stairs the roof on the church across the street needs repairing make a phone call call a wrong number and talk drown yourself in you God has given you a hug.
