#1A Poem by B. MahoneyA night or twoThe great struggles of the upper middle class a strictly human desire for a buffer for failure shortcomings flashing thoughts of desensitization a cigarette dangling from my lips stand up to try to walk and falter Alien house, Alien people, Alien thoughts ten steps down the hall, take a right, could end the fun clear thoughts, shake and reset the night is a hat to a balding man multiplying feeling for one another hands and knees, emptying his stomach glad its not me ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I walked down the path until the great and tiny sphinx blocked my path a question for passage, or two steps and a leap up the escape, to the entrance Are you excited? about? you know damn well We departed from the attic, down into the street, and the sounds of Quiet Town they're already here, perfect sweating bullets that swim through the air and kill innocence snake their way into my un-tarnished mind and leave fragments of shameful memories and euphoric encounter i hope so picture show her head in my lap animal instinct blocked by the upbringing internal civil war, brothers fighting brothers dying one by one within the confines of the cerebrum F**k, shes asleep bulge in my pocket well two now gotta take care of one, let the other sort itself out shes up with a start, I guess I'm robbing the place skull cap, dark and strangled eyes greet her Imnasplit.... back into Quiet Town confidence back, the war was won and I feel its time to collect the spoils F**k that, lets keep moving The electric candle light leads me to the place of ceremony Let it Fly Quiet Town greets me, us, like an old friend who you find drunk, but conscious The conversations down the night streets read like the stark ramblings of a Manic on horse but not really like that, I would like to think so though © 2011 B.
