the lightning spreads its roots across winter sky
wake from the abysmal overture of rainfall
childlike hands reach and grasp the cold winds
the rain teaches us to find pleasure in the fall
a trail of black ants as the hearse departs into the sunset
fish head in the icebox looking so fly
overturned stone our madness bare for all to see
a pill to invoke the illusion of freedom
imprisoned in a pint of pale ale neon lights
