Timeless
The madness is the New Year, how so
when time is endless, or as we think
has no beginning
This is an interesting thought
A sudden flash of massiveness realized
into a thread of time
Stone Age man avoided the forest
We love forests now
time changes everything, except
The ritual killing called war
Is that the price we have to pay
for the freeing of time, the forward
movement of all that exists
Just skip to the scary part ...
Tricka coniculus
is arriving October soon
Lepus all be aware;
gotta treat the leper fearful ...
whose spotty, fretful poor hearts
can’t stand
to hear more gloom and doom
Triage placebo coping band-aids
are in short supply
Looks like the blood covering the moon
be a mote overshadowing a beam
Nothing is ever,
universally,
type O positive plain as it seems
So don’t ask
the assisting nurse, Igor why
You shrink doktor Victor
know in your parental counseling heart,
without so much as even a sigh ...
it’s gonna be another Frankie boy
signature ritual killing drive-by
Only question is, when: it’s just a matter of time
That Bonnie bad boy
is gonna take his pearl handle
Jekyll-and-Clyde girl
on a Rocky Horror Creepshow death honeymoon
Two cursed lovers riding a witch’s broom
He’s got his ugly bride by his side —
Tricka coniculus
gon trigger a crimson hate blaze
Treat the shock casualties
with a hard-shell sympathetic gaze
Good news seen on a low-tide hide
Bad lepus October moon
rising,
somebody real soon is about to die
