SPRING WAS YESTERDAY
Once again he's ignored
the Steely admonition
not to go for that cotton candy
the kid will live
not learn
as his ship of state burns
(Deep Purple's "Smoke On The Water"
in the background)
heading straight for that looming
thing ahead
His little Engine That Could
having jumped the tracks
way back in New Jersey
keeps plowing ahead
through the shit fields of time
out of
sheer
fukU
disdain
So let's go downtown
and find out where
The Mikado is playing
I need some color
in these grey days
rapidly fading to black
Put on a grand show
cuz I need you
to take me for that ride
to fool me again
and in the end
pretend again
that I'm surprised

DeleteThose are the kind of poems I find most fascinating and like to read myself. Smiles!
DeleteSometimes its better to be fooled (knowingly) than to have your heart brutally broken..
ReplyDeleteAt a certain point, it's quite hard to be fooled, so you have to pretend. Smiles.
DeleteSometimes it just takes a splash of color to get through day...even if it's just painted on grey.
ReplyDeleteA splash here and a dash there...
