>>> And I am shoved back into this night life,
>>> well she said, she said, she said it was impossible.

>>> There is a place, it smoulders, it is the past, dreamtime,
>>> wander these dark corridors of memory.
>>> I sleep so deep, I don't like to sleep,
>>> my dreams threaten to wash me away.

>>> Floating in a sea of bad vibes, I do these things over and over,
>>> repentatively, feel regret but keep doing it over and over.
>>> Then the whole thing becomes a blur.

>>> Grey and pasted, patched together with spackling
>>> and sheet rock mud, a disgusted perversion of humanity.
>>> During the decline and fall of poetry,
>>> in the summer of sardonic excess,
>>> I sat with Little Spain and felt her softness.

>>> Still a sky poet, though tattered and glowing,
>>> brought down from Blue Territory,
>>> no longer in Blue Territory.
>>> I wandered by a cold river
>>> in the flaming copper land of summer.

>>> This complete process of remaking we had,
>>> your mix of pales & shades,
>>> your, distinctive, mythic self, one distinct sing of your eyes...
>>> I must bitterly understand our fate,
>>> we were never meant to be,
>>> like lost in the mirror'd rooms of a crazy house.

>>> Crimson on the napkins,
>>> pink fuzz on the clover.
>>> Maneuver to the left, and forward,
>>> into a mud soaked future.
