Realities Escape
Gravely i grimace
In knife-like pain
Living vicariously
In realities cold rain
Today i drive for
The abstract
The canned apathy
Of city streets
Once there i mingle
With torrents of humble
Strangers and soothsayers
I surround myself
By painless illusionists
Who show me the
Snows of Hell
While watching it freeze
Over
'Never' is an unaccepted
Word here amongst the
Throngs of wizards and
Non compliant enities
That tint and paint the
Grafittied walls that form
The boundaries of Earth
And Sea
Earth bids to me hearty
To gigantic waves of
Tempest drenched tides
I ride the waves
An accomplished surfer
As my pain dissolves
Amongst the stingrays
And sharks that accompany
Me in the surf
The sandy beaches are
Now simply a dim memory
Of the hollowed out
Hour-glass of sandy beaches
And fossilized driftwood
Of my once pain colored world
