Carried Away

It's starting No not Spring The slipping Bring your own Copper cup I'll fill it up Spend my money Empty the vessel Trip on a stone See the sights Wish I was home

The bee cannot find the hive No honey to make Just a stinger in the behind Blood moon rising Fool’s lips try to bind Fail to trouble The invincible season The mindful mind

Send money to the lemmings so they stop pulling their chutes There’s a new book on Burroughs we must buy Dry as dry as can be cured by cracking beeswax This color feels good when I paint a splotch Top of the John Hancock for carrot cake to celebrate I don’t want to be late but early doesn’t sound good either Perhaps I should be on time One moment at a time

It’s all because of the letter V I wonder how we're going to save the world Taking money out of the Pig My heart and mind are two children Venom slows me down Ravens are lost in Duluth Cold as an owl irruption I forgot the age of unforgettable I save all of your sunsets She loves to study the Black Death Mining indigo with Greeks Bones break like glass

A dusty forgotten book found on how to rescue a relationship That can’t be rescued and would it have been? A dead man with a needle in his arm sitting on a toilet A waste of a perfectly good life, we get one A terminally ill girl who went to prom with her boyfriend and town I never went to prom, but I’m alive

British Suri is decidedly daft I said call Rich's cell Not stock price of Dell A ketchup bottle thrown Across the kitchen Has high impact on naughty Fodder for the wee gee And gossip mill Keep your pills They make us slow Pretty little policeman Sit in the snow Don't forget to write About surfing with Kelly And flying at night

There is distraction in my mind To be in a moment Different than the one I'm in To fast forward to the life I desire and deserve Yes I deserve to be happy! My soft heart has taken a beating Pun not intended but serves I've earned my stripes and badges I've honored everyone else Sacrificed skin and bone And yet the snow falls
