~*~Discordant Symphony in Six Movements~*~

~ONE~

A way I can sleep now

But cannot dream

~TWO~

Signs on the wall

Signs in the ether

10 steps to writing

Our next ticket to

Suburbia.

Be like

Everyone else-

Interview the regular.

~THREE~

Capitalists capitalists capitalists

Kill humanitarians

Nike rifles and army gear, ‘TM’.

Playing white male politics

Waspish-

With abdomen, briefcase and thorax

Winging through electoral process

So nobody sees the doctored dice.

~FOUR~

Lives in 2D

Sorry:

No other dimensions accessible

At the current time.

You leave

With facets screaming

Like Dresden-

Sweet discordant symphony

Of white noise

And black mouth

Emitting sibilant keening,

Predominantly emitted

By the radio waves in my teeth.

~FIVE~

Songs for the disillusioned

Trapped in crazy plastic box

Polished chrome

Secrets

Till we break forth and cry-

Sing, sing,

Sing me away

From this drowsy place

Sing me songs of Africa.

~SIX~

Breathing is unconscious

While love is a conscious effort

So teach yourself to love

And forget how to breathe.
