rows of corn
all the same ole color
as the highway makes me bored
big machines
flying through the tractor trailers
spilling red and green
burns my eyes
smoke behind the conversation
clouding all the lies
i tell myself
gotta make it off the interstate
before the heatwave melts
expensive tears
burn like gasoline
into the river of my fears
and i sigh
no one seems to understand
just what they’ve lost and why
moving fast
where you wouldn’t want to stick around
enough to make this last
all the same
what once was wide and varied
now a single minded brain
come back to the other side of the
wild westward bright delight that i
can’t quite figure out just how you
forget what you once know how to see, but
somebody pull the rope on the
clown curtain life’s a joke that goes
falling backwards laughing at those
that take it all too seriously
cause this shit it don’t seem that funny to me
so salt the fries
the journey of a hamburger
is over once inside
the body learns
cut off your foot to spite the past
there’s no where to return
once you’re wide
to walk the straight and narrow
is a bullshit way to hide
from yourself
gotta make it to the pharmacy
or the pills fall off the shelf
expensive tears
dried and crusted mustn’t love
too much or they might hear
i dream alone
no one seems to want to trust
in an imaginary home
the walls are real
you and me we say we’re free
but we can’t say how we feel
looking down
what once just a hologram
is now the whole damn town
and i can’t tell what i’m thinking
if I’m on the brink of a break or a
breakthrough I’m
too fake to be made of matter
but in too deep to stop climbing the ladder, please
