Market street
Bloopers in blue uniforms
Flat tops and red noses
Pontificate from soapboxes
To cantankerous clowns inciting protest
Bar brawling streets ignite a haversack generation
Of tattoos and hypocrites
That feast on double shots and cigarettes
Trying to control the uncontrollable
Nowhere man struts alone through Jonestown
Tripping over his tongue
While smoking his mind
Through yesterday's glass pipe of sorrows
Television, coffee bean synergy
Reluctant paraphernalia
Intravenous meat living to the beat
Of an empty drum
Raz a ma tazz
Reactive
Inactive
Suffering serene serfs
***** by the hunger of a lost youth
The sequencer of the sequential runs wild
The freedom bird flies
Sings songs for the senseless
The senseless sing along
Presidents and prisoners have *******
Equal in the void
The ******* queen whets her lips
Seven against Thebes
Rorschach tests refute Walt Whitman
Festivals for the oppressed
Youthful vigor gives way to Korsakoff’s syndrome
A diseased reality of horned rabbits
Whim wham whining
The universal ******* takes refuge
In the autonomy of the city
And I am the rangefinder
The random man
A teary eyed son of the Buddha lands
Looking for a cheap peep show
