It Carries On
Again
Close these windows.
Create artificial night.
Out there lies pain.
Once we walked fearlessly.
Now we creep cautiously.
Dr. Relief suggested white pills.
Take one each 6 hours for pain.
Increase dose as pain intensifies.
Don’t exceed more than 5 in a 24-hour period.
I can’t remember how many I swallowed.
Now, it’s all surreal.
I like black and white.
My dreams through Ilford 400-speed 35mm film.
Nervous hands hold .35-caliber anger.
Mind the repeater.
Pete and Repeat sat on a log …: REPEAT
Over and over again your voice haunts me.
I fade into your shades of gray … fade to black.
Then, degrees of wind chiming to white snow … innocence.
Tonight you’re guilty of nothing.
“Want to smoke another?”
Hell Yeah, I never turn that down.
“Good, Spark it up.”
And we do.
Close these windows.
Create artificial night.
Out there lies pain.
Once we walked fearlessly.
Now we creep cautiously.
Dr. Relief suggested white pills.
Take one each 6 hours for pain.
Increase dose as pain intensifies.
