ineptitude's aftermath

 

still word "what?" reverberating in hollow skull
dark vacuum television tuned to static dead channel
eerie blue glow thick of night fleeting thoughts COLD
like love running toward pinprick headlights in the dark
mysterious lights disturbing bad place bad time
trying to engulf us, vast, sinister flood
sudden vision of a strange breaking columbia gone now
empty parking lots and deserted gas stations
sign on rusty hinges creaking uneasy in the wind
calmly unnerving low humming sound
intermittent crackling of neon sign VACANCY in big disrupted letters
driving alone lost highway under dead sodium lights

giant machine of the gods
keeps pounding steadily after we're centuries gone
lifeless throbbing mechanical pulse dance bigger than you bigger than me

blinking red lights hostile air subhumans scurrying
i walk the streets alone under the pink diseased sky
jesus stars erupt cosmic consciousness denied

 

 

the plague of vacancy

 

twisting darkness floating deliberately
rasping whispers razing unseen
nothingness groping underneath cover
of false smiles and suggestions unnamed
dutifully carrying out expected mechanical motions
revolutionary idea blown out before it can be kindled
social drones in a cemetary clucking- "it was such a shame"...

sound of empty wind grating hollow
light spreads over the cracked land-
revealing bleakness-
somewhere, something must be reacting
