Sidewalk flashes and bursts of life
The people are plastic bags
Billowing at the wheels of their jobs
The taxi cab makes me glad
One method of escape from this lonesome drag
"Take me downtown! In five minutes, please, now!"
We live until we cannot survive.
Our dollar bills taste like drug companies
Our fireworks replace our hunger
Pedestals with slobbering crushing businessmen
Whisper static diversions to our children.
Fuck the mirrors, they've been engineered
To disease and filth, fiction and tears
No surgery can erase eyes
And screams and confusion that hide behind those lines
Flashback that man of machines as he slowly turns his lids inside his heart, turning them lustfully inside out. Salamander the pederast looked out for the sky. He waited for it to ignite.
