crossing water

Post by mindbum » January 2nd, 2005, 8:49 pm

new:

crossing water

bridges are the memory castles
religion wished it had.
rivets are the holy ghost.
satan is a halfdozen trucks
full of combustible fertilizer
the son of man is at the tollbooth
the prince of peace is behind the wheel.
people scurry crosst the water.
the ones what suffer
to sink in the icy drink
with the father
who
blows up bridges
fighting with himself.



old:

bridges are allegory
for stability and understanding
religion wished it had.
rivets are the holy ghost.
satan is a halfdozen trucks
full of nitric fertilizer and kerosene.
the father is the man behind the wheel.
people scurry crosst the water.
the ones what suffer
to sink in the icy drink
with the son of man
who
blows up bridges
fighting with himself.

godless & songless, western man dances with the stuffed gorilla through all the blind alleys of a dead-end world.

adaptability is perfection?
godless & songless, western man dances with the stuffed gorilla through all the blind alleys of a dead-end world.
