Red Pill
yah, I took the red pill
and the Matrix came apart
like a cheap suit in a car wash
while the distance between bad to good
became a weaving graph line
down the two lane blacktop
as traffic in either direction
meant nothing other
than more dead armadillos
skidding to a stop inches away
Chrysanthemum Ritzik tosses her hair
and opens the passenger door
I'm gonna ride you 'till sunrise
she hissed as the whip bit
Ok Ok I screamed
I'll wear the alligator shoes
and the rhino horn hat
we're all on a mission
I blurted while diving
out of the Cadillac front seat
as she spun the wheels
all over my face
spitting gravel and alkali dust
I yelled like a hog caller
living on hope will only turn you into
another blue pill hope monster
leaving me a single consolation
as I limped along the tarmac
plotting the revenge that
sank Atlantis
