(great grandson of Greek God Cronus) Our Deadbeat Father

Lone star walking roads,

crowbar in hand

cowgirl I'll die for,

I died and I died again,

 

fluent in 6 country's,

passports; pardons

no cargo,

but luggage is a stainless steel flask,

 

half full,

half way,

to the moon

if you asked me?

 

Cadillacs in space,

expensive taste

that's masked with

— the cheap stuff,

 

inspired souls,

they walk,

and this forsaken path,

they'll never make hell a ***** deed or two from heaven,

 

counterparts

we're equals,

we're lost

they're my colleagues,

 

a scandal from remembrance,

remember we followed rules?

no response

****

 

there's a shift

in the rubix cube, 

a memo from the warden,

no weapons in the visit room,

 

coordinating sin,

a taste of gin

before the see you soons,

world was much warm before stone replaced the sand dunes,

 

scoff at the elixir,

cordially

she casts stones,

******* of a demon crossing ponds is all the child knows,

 

tales of the fishermen,

who heard it through the corridors,

all and all departed,

with a fear of the other gods,

 

strictly prohibited,

a swig of the forbidden fruit,

who are you to judge me,

When Your Son Is Not Of Holy Proof!

 

wedded to a mortal said your honor,

absent i do's,

abstinence is bliss

and your crime ascends civilian law,

 

guilty -- you're filthy,

your son will never know your soul,

I know my role and play it well,

Your god never admits he's wrong,

 

so why would I?

— a baby cried,

I'm present for my son's birth,

and leave before an open eye the practice of a perfect curse.
