...... tic.......tic
hear it............ now
the bomb of the future
so ........ so .......... so ..
..... si ..... lent
Some hear it.
See the poems on the walls
poets know it
artists see it
some dream it
animals know it
can you hear it?
all good children need
heaven ......... heaven ........ heaven
just .... not ........ not ..................... friggin' now!
war, guns, uniforms
and hell down from the sky
... dreams so real......
....... I wake
to find ......... I was not dreaming
bloody.... bloody.... bloddy
in hell with ...... my-
thought ....... processors .....
...... busted
dan.......
gling
between
greasy fingers of .... night ....... horrors ............ images
wasted life on carpet
paper towels stuck on skin
marks city maps......
overwhelmed ................. creatures ............. like snakes
once attached,
had a body
now face down in
a living room grave
now hanging soft pale reminders
of little time.........
........ quiet sleep .......
kicking into slumber,.................... priceless peace
angels weep of foreboding....
danger.......windowpanes cry and I
disconnected,...... just cry more
at
war a
substitute for....
....... life ........... life ...........life
can you hear it?........ tic-(whisper)-tic ........ tic
