Bus

Braving lapses in neon dreams You don’t like the look of air max 90’s Besotted language intercepted not digested The babble of youths who don’t talk correctly Basking loosely in nonchalant demise The shit on the floor, what a mess Buttoned lips insinuating nothing decisive You are hard eyed from men outside the pub, you look away at Bluebottles lying inside neatly dead Get me off this fucking bus. Black lines, interrupting nothing deep Why always black and never red Broad landscapes intrude narrowness, delicately But you close your eyes and hum the cure Breaking laughter, ignorant nuisances drain I wish they all were quiet and tame Berating loud intuitive noises, djembe Banging hands against the glass Banging, lightning, ignored, deleted There’s a fight going on, you will stay seated Buried liquidized imagery, naturally dancing The reflection of drama in a window behind you Because listening is not done You think about dinner and where you will buy it Because light is no fun You again close your eyes and think about home Busy lovers inseparable never daring You enjoy your thoughts Being left in near darkness You enjoy your thoughts Watching interesting things happen Eventually yelping even shouting trill howls After the watch, offset retina kicks
