Asleep at the Wheel
The obscenely convincing, have arrived in their stealth mobiles. We are made to unmake-belief, to regurgitate Saran wrapped words. Wide-eyed we watch the spreading creep of windowless thought-factories. Druids rage for the loss of their tongues. Magic dragons puff obesely and cannot now climb their spines. Combative batmen tussle with spitting cats. It all makes no-sense, and yet we know the fantasy is built on self-destructing concrete, we see...

Asleep At the Wheel
Drivin' me crazy, Mind gettin' hazy, Foot gettin' lazy, Goin' to see Daisy... A sight to see, Daisy and me, With her Daisy-Duke shorts, She just attracts all sorts... But my eyes won't stay open, My hardest effort at copin' Ain't gona be enough, Just ain't got the right stuff... Lids gettin' heavy, Hands now unsteady, I veer off the road, Sleepiness my load... From there I don't remember, On that day...
