| In a pretty sane reaction to a stone-cold month of mondays,
|
| In a parking lot adjacent to the off-ramp for the freeway,
|
| The moon was dancing in the clouds,
|
| The wind was playing on the trees.
|
| With a tube stuck through the window
|
| It’s as easy as 1, 2, 3.
|
| With a tube stuck through the window,
|
| He stuck by his decision to asphyxiate his fears.
|
| On the coldest day of the year.
|
| The mind keeps drifting backwards toward the formative years
|
| (With nausia, not nostalgia). |
| Bells are ringing in the years.
|
| The temptation to homogenize,
|
| The compulsion to submerge
|
| Beneath a quantity of beer.
|
| Depression and detention and a rock to let off tension.
|
| Carbon monoxide. |
| Carbon monoxide.
|
| Pulse like a receding tide.
|
| Can’t you feel it slip away?
|
| The earth which fed you now consumes you.
|
| «No one remembers what day it was
|
| But everyone knows the trouble he’d seen…
|
| Surface details all checked out,
|
| But there was no way to know for sure or not…
|
| Split second decision…
|
| Could’ve made it go the other way…» |
