After drenching biblical rainfall...
verdant green acres covered the planet of the apes
like a petticoat junction

of budding new shoots

Stands facing the lake.
Built by hand, by one man
To acknowledge his presence,
In a changing world, he felt

And so chose to live like...

The White Fence
You are the white fence
the blown horn
the fiercest fight
a green pasture at dawn
you are the creek smell ...moss and black-brown peat
glint of light off the trash barrel that blinds the evil driver who hits the...

Russian Roulette
The sweet release of empty flesh,
The curling locks of lady death and her syndicate.
Mercy disguised as agony;
Agony cloaked as mercy.
Eyes not glaring with murderous intent but with immense desolation.
The mistress: arousing with the hammer wrapped...

Flicked Cigarette
Through the hills within the woods of a mountain's slithering slopes,
A road winds its way, on which rides a car driven by a misanthrope.
Plucking from his pocket a pack of poison sticks with one...

When Skies of Cobalt Blue - Finale
Media frenzies gather pace
Camera's focused on our skies
The slightest move by these crafts
Always takes us by surprise
Nations are asking questions

Explosions aplenty
Leaving planetary scars

As comets appear
All over the world
Do we panic or fear
The very next morning
Cylinders are found
Metallic and shiny
Making a humming sound
An unscrewing grind
These cylinders emit
As...
