How extreme

the excesses of fright

The way it turns the neighborhoods

Into alien shape

••

We wander the once mystic
Night

But the angels are gone

••

And the shades are drawn and hidden

Are all lovers' eyes

••

And DEATH too

(& hence the Meaning of life!)

Has fled

•

And as I stand here amongst
You

Quite frankly

I don't know why

••

A song of mythical
Heroes plays soft

But tires

And spins around and down

And curls up
On the street

••

And only we are left

Unguarded
Unsheltered

Raw with such feelings

Of loneliness

••

Even the stars

Fading into the neons

Of the overhead lights

••

Lost in the haze

Of a lost story line

Remembering some other
Way to live

But just barely

(Very barely)

••

Hidden here in the alien night

We finally reach out to eachother

And set the story right
