break the waking

[infiniteblue17]

lest we forget these silver tongues
that search and flick
and mock and click
and a thousand other 
names that
stick and cling and wail and sing

moaning from the center of a room inside a box
gushing sugar-coated things simply cannot be
counting tangled daydreams from dolly's pretty locks
never once pausing to think to learn to see

lips that never pause
seldom say anything worth hearing
unless you're mister cnn
in which case you're spewing bile all the time
your face is working overtime
and you're immaculate this time
because this is wartime
but from the depths of your pushy couch it's peacetime
every time
buy time
cut time
cut money

a tempo.

there were great many, many words that stood here
before the words that stand here now.

the mind can be many things
but i doubt it can be truly lost

such a cruel thing
makes my tongue slanderous and vain
such a tiresome act
makes me want to shake you sane
such dusty words
when will they render mundane
but who am i
mousy and plain
fond of rain
as well as of sunshine.
