Mulberry Wine

The lost seas of writhing souls Deep and the darkness, bucolic peasantry carrying a basin of mud Protesting for better wages, in the bruised bulls of Wall Street Seeking pursuit of happiness, and finding the answer With each proceeding need and the greed just stops being a word Mirrors and global skyscrapers, objects, all forecasted We know what we will build for the future A future of objectivism, and plants with books overlooking New York streets Dreaming of better living in extravagant Manhattan Teaching others about the poetic license, how you can lie Blues and booze, and the breaths of the cold morsels Murky hills, carrying pitchforks in boreal forests Barking and biting, these are now chilly pine peaks The heart seeks what it seeks, and omniscience and ubiquitous Gods Like modern infrastructure, and precarious progress for the army recruit There are plenary structures and assemblies of kitsch Kilimanjaro, replicas of mountains and wax models Romancing each stone, and feelings of someone you once loved You thank heaven, that she walked into the right bar Sometimes, you hope she walks into the wrong seat and meets you Greets you at times, as an alarm for the correct time Tresses of eve-teasers lay bareback on great cars, some of them even make haste with purloined convertibles Purring cats walk through Plainfield and Mclaren streets, foraging for serendipity You'll be glad that heaven brought you to the right bar, to tell you are the right desire In this sea of lost souls, thinking they are struggling But, actually, they are tied to the confabulating and changing climate Blaring horns of the bungholes and dungeons of bald men spot the madness from afar from the humble abode All of them dying peptic ulcers, cirrhosis and drinking themselves to illness Indemnified by their art, art is the way to explain these insecurities and voids of despair, we are a civilized bunch, right?
