another new one...

Think I may want to give this one a different title, but...

FIGURATIVELY SPEAKING

But baby you look good
when you get brutalized
by society's lies
when you're black and blue
from any which way
you can
and your hair holds more snakes
than Medussa's lair
Man, the doomed
they look most beautiful
when they're down
And I can't take my eyes
off of you,
sincere piece of ghost.
you're a figment,
a filament
in the firmamament
drawing fire flies
into your eternal now
with fresh eyes
and sticky fingers for second sight
"It took me five years
to figure out there's a difference
between pot and hash"
she said
"and only three to figure out
lucid dreaming!"

Go figure.
