I've been waiting for a while Waiting on the bus, lingering Acadia road With stark canary smiles Tires sliding south, piercing lights through the snow
The grouching driver smiled for a buck But it wasn't my number, just his luck The face mistook
The madmen piled on top of one another Spitting stories of strenuous times Though they complained about the weather They would do so well to shine every dime
The bus came and noticed my suit The others followed me in pursuit Of their boots
I am happy looking at the snow And only feeling through the cleanest window But everybody's in a jiving craze I'm amazed or maybe I'm enhazed By the speed of streets And my halted heat
The participants of equilibrium Took attempts at a kinetic sleep Instead they chant, in dulled delirium And take a peek at their synthetic keeps
Neon lights and thinking, dancing strobes Stamping all their prints into my lobe As the traffic probes
The wolf in withered wool Talked about the finest winter day at the start of fall His owner pulled a spool Out of her spine, turned it to money, aimed a gun at her own gall
People were aroused ‘till they were pale And the snow took on the visage of hail It had us all impaled
A preacher in the back carried the thrall Of every play and soon denounced them all Then every mind’s speed-o-meter broke The bus in that moment served to provoke The red lights have stalled But I am simply staring at the wall
The beautiful marmalade- Haired lady was a victim of the locks of fate As the buses fade Onto pavilions of blurs into oblivion’s gate
The passengers sink past another precinct The districts become less and less distinct Vision is extinct
The cosmic eye’s offspring Held a mundane life of bounding over mounds of salt They came off of spring’s Offering and found the true, world-collective gestalt
They fret over the facets of fossils They seek to shine on acrimonious ant-hills Passion is distilled
The merriest of people lie in songs And do not feel bothered to belong But when the bus transitions to a train The vindictive vain are doused in pain Queens on their knees In well-ragged fleece
The bellowing bell-maid Rang a tune that sang the smells of Familiar Arabia The sums that we all paid Meant nothing at all as golden sands enshroud grey Acadia
The replicated people do not dwell Or belong inside my newfound well While they seek to sell
The curl-headed mind, Kept and groomed by the spotted hand of mercury Grabbed the leashes of the hind And repeated tales of great Apollo’s century
In the prints on dunes, he has found The journey and a lack of solid ground His bounds make no sound
The beaming castle of the once-gestalt The gardens of the sky that never halt The market district full of jubilee Perpetual and peaceful entropy
Once a fool to look into the past Now he pays attention to the mast Once entailed his failure to the sea Perpetual and fleeting harmony
