how to train time
When the streets are cold …and all you hear is a shattered melody
Then you go back for yesterday…..to find rain in a pond of blasphemy
When the needle stops to bleed …before you believe in insanity
Then you search for a killer….to kill a dead poet in his grave of anonymity
When life functions through a wall..and there is no window to jump from the 20 th floor
Then you believe if you could Google your past ..only to know The dead hasn’t queued up to settle the score
When you cry out in your sleep,..and gag yourself ….so your feelings don’t remain exposed
Then when you see 'The Light’ ..in a dull suburban sky ..only to realize it went off… before the
lid was closed".
