I can stand on two legs, dammit. This world melts my heart
and I howl at the moonlight. The Beast in me. The Beats in me. Ticky-tack,
rat-a-tat. Eats at me. Swatting at flies. The roads are merging into one. Is it
one? The one? The sun burns my world into a crisp like charred mesquite burns
the meat. All the flavors sealed in. I'm holding it in. Bottled up like a beer
bubbles into my mind. Where were you when I needed you? Let me touch your soul.
I'll light you up like a Jack O' Lantern or a Yule tide tree in the crisp
winter sky after Summer's tragic death. Tears flow where the river grows into
roaring terminus. The mist spraying, dancing rainbows glimmer and fade. The
catterwaul of the grackles streaking into the blue yonder snaps my head and
leaves me busted, broken from the gravity of my bittersweet reverie.
