starts with rain
life
must start with
rain
tears
from the sky
tears
of joy

waiting
to leave this
body
the gift
of life eternal
the illusion
share the fact

to late
the bus already
left
you can
take the next one
or
if you want
you can
walk

meanwhile
here
is a car

took these drugs
said
they would either cause
or prevent
death

a
million dollar plan
could be a
billion or trillion

what’ next

thought you moved
to someplace cold
something about taxes
a new identity
fuck global
heading into space

she had a great weapon
her very own arsenal
complete
with a telescope
radar
she
no longer needs

why would you leave
how
did you get so unhappy

someone
putting up a
billboard
i think
on the road
that
i drive

will end up crazy
dancing in the sun
while
living on the moon

when
you gonna fall
asleep
dream
maybe write a play
let characters
speak
for you
dream
for you
pretend
for you
that this story is
okay

who stole the butcher’s
milk
the astrologer’s pen
the sparkle in your eyes
who
turned the switch
off

we need more
bombs and guns
more girls and
boys
to kill
or be killed

where’s the enemy
who’s in charge
of the lieutenant

dreams of peace being
blown up
now
i am sad

turn everything into a
doughnut shop
she said
with coffee
served on wax paper
with an extra finger
to scrape off
that
glazed goodness
