dear light,

Post by mindbum » July 6th, 2008, 5:04 pm

dear light,

ne'er d'ye darken me door.
you provide, in yr intangibility,
sustenance to these greenly crawling things
in my home.

they look up to you.
they frown at clouds.

oh beneficent radiator.
rays o warmth.
fuzzy particles.
cuddly electrons.

what i've wondered
is whether to wave
you down
or send this parcel
particle post.

if you are the light
&
the light is the way
& the fastest way
to get there
is the speed of light

then you must know
whatever i forgot
i ws asking

&
why it gets dark so fast
at the flick of a switch?

sincerely,
in optical literacy,
aaron

oh that switch can be turned on and off with choice
i wonder sometimes at the blackness of his eyes and the rudeness
the attitude
rock and roll has been
fuck off
i think being in a band in Alaska is groovy
but it does not qualify you as a rocket scientist
neither does being a meth cook
how many lives you have destroyed
and all you think you haveto do is stay clean
look people die every day from drugs and alcohol
you are the dry drunk of my dreams
fuck right off
so many stupid people that think money is the answer to thier woes
look inside
find the light, sight and love
because assholes are fucking boring
