What Is Time Capsule
WHAT IS TIME CAPSULE
I am sixteen stealing my father’s cigarettes.
Learning an independent thought is not valued.
Turn the attention spin. This is a kissing game.
Pucker up. This is going to be a disaster.
A smooth whistle, I don’t think he will disapprove
if I drowned until there is a prince saving me.
Hold back all emotion or it will be dark dawn at noon
A whiskey fight because I keep telling people I’m fine.
Truth spin, whose turn to be in charge, give meaning
create order. It’s your turn to shine Stardust.
Humdrum routine bicycle backwards time skips and erases
An old tear heart breaks the weather like rain.
I’m getting too vague. Slow down to specific detail.
They used to call me, evil twin, Medusa, four eyes.
I need something good a new jacket. Bookkeeper
teach me how to live like an open eyed swan.
People tell me I’m not looking or listening. I’m overwhelmed.
Deep sob Let’s celebrate A sunny day
My warts are ugly and I want them to go away.
Let go of that Anger. Don’t get prepared for a scrap so quick.
I’m a young bastard that really likes Bob Dylan.
