Across The Universe

Counting hopeless dreams stripped from the sandman’s grasp

Kept waiting, left chaffing

The restraining corset equipped on daddy’s farm breaks a clasp

Worth stating, more berating

 

Left in transit as thoughts collide, drifting off on that one once relied

Envision ghosts, stagnant at posts, awaiting the toast, at Greg Giraldo’s roast

A passing cloud, it’s well endowed, the screaming’s loud, daddy’s proud

Broken bones, the girl moans, the old man groans, salacious tones

 

Nursery bound departure of a beloved mother, swept off by a younger lover

Father time awaits the clock, chairs rock, nurturing his flock, displayed ****

In speechless rage, on a well lit stage, chalked up to age, comes an averted cage

Nothing’s going to change my world. Nothing’s going to change my world.
