Second Hand Confrontations
11/10/98

Midnight in Georgia. Decease the premonition. Death by all means. Empty spaces fill the voids of unwritten laws. Heavy breathing. Where we go from here, is how you look at things. Things are always looking different. Plus or minus a few minutes means the present is here. Cellophane brush strokes. Ever ready. Envelopes packed with width. Shortening. Old bread crusts and bloated gold fish. Floating tank top. Pool table submerged. Heckle I will. Shooting pain. Beard stubble, blood and beer, clog the drain. On the other end is the fantastic place where My Little Ponies live. Rainbows and trout fill the silver nights. On the other side a pistol is pressed against someone's sad forehead. Peacock flair, with subsonic cutlery. Flatware of sergio. Hesitate four laps. Mark the wound and cry it clean. Yourself has vanished, in to the echoes in your eyes. Some players wonder, what if the game never started. Interrupted once more. And she dives under the bed. What will she find when see she looks deep into my eyes?

Thunder blister shelve space, targeted by amateur impostors. Flowering red metro north timetables. Harvest is upon us. We both had to go. Mail in for all the extras. Responsibilities are lost in a daydream. Much sleep is needed. Night time in Georgia, is like sleeping without an engine block. I'm alive and well. With much surprise, I have decided to call upon the important parts of guessing. Sleeping aboard rather than abroad. No favors. Time's up.


TIME OUT

Here is my time out. This is the place I go when I'm in trouble. I was put here by bad men. It is dark and dreary. I'm so far down that the only time that I see something is when I close my eyes. Then I see all my black and blues and cuts. My head still hurts. Alcohol is hard to come by. I may come out of this hole soon. At least I think so. I've been here since.... I really don't remember. Maybe if I think hard and behave like a good little boy. I cry, I promise you. Just loud enough not to wake the guard. Let me go please. I'm very tired as it is.
