a clockwork orange

Dancing on the stage bathed in ultra violet

is a dripping young honey making me ultra-violent.

My three stooges become scrooges using ***** useless excuses

to not be Zeus's and noose the spruce for their collusive abuses.

I leave the troupe, loop back, snoop, try to ******

induce some juice, a little loose chartreuse

 

The girl looks down from the platform, eyes vacant and hollow

Ten years of this storm full of snake-pits and sorrow

No glow but the glint of a nose speckled with snow

Her heartbeat allegro slows, lower tempo - adagio

 

For she's hooked to the pole by an IV of ******* and circumstance

I regret holding the cash and stealing her glance.

It falls from my hand, not that thats exculpatory

and when I next catch her eyes, it's merely to say, 'sorry'
