When the traffic creaks to a self-satisfying halt and sighs gently...
When the hands of the clocks spin so quickly that they disappear in a blur of arcing flame...
When light and sound become relative - you no longer recognize the forms of fleshy clouds and lithe streetlamps...
When you dream and conspire
When you bathe in the fire
When you thrive on revolution
When you live for restitution
When you ache for the friction
When you weave tales of fiction
When the bullet you bite transforms into an artillery shell...
When the picket lines of imaginary wars twist in double helixes and pyramids...
When the sun secretes a venomous mirage of entrapment...
When you lie and suppress
When you bleed and you bless
When finesse and success are too scant to impress
I'm pressed to confess my utmost distress
Where is the progress?

A very good question. Made me blink a few times to take it all in and soak it up. Brilliance...you're very sharp. I love your work! |
