Cobwebs in the attic.
Cornerstone of the addicts panic.
Outside the window pane, the widow black
Played the fiddleback, dancing.
Scattered dreams against the faceplate spattered.
Floorboards creeping with the pastime chatter.
Open closed drawer slowly full of clothes pinned coyly.
Dominant forbearance clearinghouse sweepstakes.
Sleep takes the daring out of dayjob mistakes
Dreamscape the caring out of paychecks misplaced.
Crackle of the static state of all things must pass.
Teeter on the precipice precisely between
opposing greener sides of the grass
Always two sides to every coin lilting softly
Payment plan B looming; tantalizing deftly.
Smell the musty shadows of rats scratching in the walls
What’s Jack to do when his house of cards falls?
Slit of the wrist and it spills out the weathervane
Toss of the dice decides chance percent of an Empire’s rain
Skeletons went in the closet,
conservative estimates came out, prancing
Stab his riddled back again, before he gets antsy
Seal your fate in a box and bury it in the lawn
Hide your hopes in a shallow grave before they are all gone.
Shame is a terrible thing to waste on the youth today.
Every downline reject has his patriotic upslide dues to pay.
Every lowdown object has someone more iportant to thank.
For all that credit you’ve been given where credit’s not
due to a misunderstanding,
Laughter followed you all the way home from the bank.
