Hep
All this bone
will be sprinkled with rust                          
Through dust of collapsing cables
           and trust
But we will be here            
to love
as we must

We got time    
sister
To love                  
as we trust
We got time        
brother
To fall                  
as we lust

But no beat        
nor x
nor world-winded hex
can fight the flight and ignite the light
Just lookin to the left            
or right

We are up to come down
in our time to fall out
the go-round      
in the games  
about town                  
   But the petals
and buildings                          
all bill for the dead
when stuffed      
in long boxes
coats filled with lead

We once were and then not
Were but wasn't                                      
in the eyes of the tried
and hands of the tired
and fight to be true                        
now severed for sake of                            
ordered bewilderment
left without cue
in the lies and the cries


of                                        
sometime tomorrow
