Sound waves shame the schism of the hemispheres,
Lost and found like anomalies,
Drawing battles out of thin veneers,
And a fading sense of honesty

Your baggage claims you at the gate,
Zipping fast like mood swings,
It finds itself in front of fate,
Each and every bite it brings

Crafting laughter from the silence,
Making names so hastily,
Your open discourse leads to violence,
This vision is now hazy

You'll see yourself a carousel,
A distant faction at the edge,
The rise and fall of broncos,
So steadily they're all abridged,
Mechanically outpaced and flanked,
By armies standing at the ridge,
Of time

A twilight glimpsed through a visage faintly,
Awaiting results from a far away machine,
Slipping codes through random pathways,
Hear them ping so quaintly,
Interlacing on your television screen

Raucous sounds fill the outline,
Momentary pauses to cut between the scenes,
An image floats so freely,
Beyond the bounds to what cannot be seen

It asks you briefly for monetary gain,
Asking questions with no answer,
Your glued eyes mute to all the pain,
Rusting spokes must peddle faster

Metal soldiers storming through the alleyway,
Introducing coldness to the ground,
Praised collectives call for them to stay,
And wrap our souls within the sounds,
Of wordplay

Fraying vines are kicked up, swinging,
Winds changing course to shield them,
Desperate calls are left out ringing,
No response or reaction

A watchful bounty boasts of the autumn haul,
As members, strewn about, are hinging
Wasted flags are clotted in the smog,
Of cities running hot, unflinching

Coerced by diamond songs and halos,
Complete, concise and fringing,
Tangents whizz past the silos,
Around its frame, fogs collecting

Fabled hands reach out to touch me,
Freeing threads from connecting,
Watch the world shed its colors,
Rainbows diffracting shades down the river

The clamor of business arrangements, far overreaching,
Legislate a syndrome
Parasitic clauses penned down are leeching,
Their soldiers sent home,
A *******'s rules are best left for breaching

Stitched within the puppet's membrane,
A captain's log for watching,
Left alone these methods will stain,
And lead us all to nothing

A thank you for our time in passing,
Pleasing rounds of discourse singing,
Asking for what cannot be known,
Behind the curtains masking

Sacred souls divided by a kingdom left in heaven's wake,
Too easily confused by all these rules that seem to bend and break,
Shifting eagerly towards destitution, foraging what's left to take
Leave it all behind or fight for everything that's left at stake

I must forget to love you and toss aside the thought,
Of pressures lining up and brimming timbres leaving me so taut,
You can't be a giant if all the dwarves are standing tall,
Upon the shoulders, figureless, of despots waiting for your fall...

A slightly off center rearranging of the walls
Nick your hourglass just a little and it falls
Some complicated stranger says we're gonna have a ball,
But the clock is unmoving and we're waiting for the phone call

Sip another drip of tonic spiked to oblivion,
Counting little numbers in your head to one million,
Think of all the promises you've made, one billion,
How many of them have you really kept?
Not a single one

Take the last dose and get high on enigma,
Feel the rushed glances of disdain and stigma,
Roughly beating at the bone,
Calculate and then condone,
Simulating frequent tones,
Pulsing quick like metronome,
Now signing off in monotone,
Sigma

Hello again,
How are you, friend?
Now, take this knife,
And end my life,
Jam it in my throat,
Twist it just a tiny touch,
To lift away my final note,
Sail beyond on boats you borrow,
Waste the seas with wailing shrieks,
And do it all again tomorrow!
