**** the mailman
the bad news bringer
make it look
like they crashed their car
before dropping off the letter
do it to the next one to
and the next
till they stop bringing bad news
and just send you an email
then smash the computer
and build a nest in the crawlspaces
hide till the end
eventually
THEY'LL
get the message
probably.

click clack
fingers on the keys
like hooves on cobblestones
but this is for me
not a passenger
i'm fairly certain.

staring ahead
into the void
or at the painter
sometimes I think
you're painted eyes
are following me.

Faith is for fools
Believe in them
Trust that reason
Will win
And you will find
A monster
Given the keys
To the land
Of now tragic dreams.

A fist
is no gavel
slamming the ground
crying out proclamations
no one need heed
wasted time
making a spectacle
you can be a YouTube star
for a bit.

no waiting
just volunteers
expecting more
I got a participation button
maybe they should
have put out food.

follow us please
we will leave
this place
and make a nest
somewhere better
That Place will be heaven
a physical location
this place
could have been
if not for our kind.
