Don't ask me about the future- I just let go of the past-
I'm floating in melted gun-metal I'm firing nails into the sky Alone on this planet of red and she-devil I'm emerging as a butterfly- Piano keys of ivory and emerald, Finished in exotic leather. Dripping in pearls and ostrich feather- I play on and on, to the die That's been cast on a hand-drawn tabletop map Lined with seafood bibs I laugh as my lungs turn to dust And wonder if this is all there ever was- I'm floating in aluminum, above the skyline Peering down on this world I create, The tin-foil stars around me, oh how they shine But it's not enough to sate.
Goodbye my quinoa islands, Beaches of grain where my toes sink, I'm dreaming of better editorials that ran- While my thoughts brought me over the brink.
