Sprinkler Steve, Schizophrenia Phenomena

Sprinkler man, 
Dancing in an idle neighbourhood. 
Eyes rolled back feeling fine, 
gallon coat of tears, 
his boat drifting 
like his floating feet 
His mind an endless note 
charming the children from the river, 
disturbing mud packets of thought, 
Caught a fish he did, the sprinkler man, 
swirls waving hooks in the air 
paddling like a worm  
curling like a note he wrote.  
--The night is young 
Still stuck in his river yellow mind 
Brewing toxins falling to the ground out the 
entrances of his pointers 

He lives down on the alley  
praying amongst tall grass 
weaving a sunrise, exhaling  
the lifes clouds drifting along in deep currents of blue.  

He was my father at one point. 
sold his tanned heart and smoked  
sticky dreams flooding valleys 
staunhcing him a like a shadow coat 

Starfishes in the corner, 
intoxicated pacified in a midnight blanket 
mono train exaiming ants briefly stern. 
on he goes 
Destroying darkness  
shovelling blood out his ten shores 
spiriling notice leaving the world behind. 

Riding quilts galloping, 
All is quite fine with the clown 
teething  
moping like a wave to his mothers palm. 

On he crys.. 
Singing

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
