Bugs & Flowers |
Out in the forest |
Out past the stone wall |
Built by old farmers |
Or older guys |
I saw a railway |
With tracks all rusted |
Wild flowers blooming |
Up through the tides |
I set out walking |
Just cross-tie walking |
Out on the cross-ties |
Where I could step |
Sometimes I missed one |
Sometimes there was none |
Sometimes the flowers |
Had eaten it |
The sun was burning |
The flies were churning |
The trees were turning |
Inside the sky |
The tracks were rotten |
Some trash forgotten |
Sometimes a bottle with ash inside |
I’ve been a walker |
A sidewalk talker |
Out on the sidewalks |
Where I could stay |
Someday my body |
Will look real shoddy |
Wherever flowers have eaten it |
Voracious flowers |
Voracious hours |
Voracious people |
Voracious slime |
Words like voracious |
Just sound like nonsense |
After you say them about five times |
These flowers blooming |
They are not human |
These flies and insects |
Are really weird |
Their backs are shiny |
Their souls are tiny |
And by the zillions |
They’ve disappeared |
So if there’s life after |
It’s packed with insects |
It’s filled with flowers |
No room for us |
When they kick the bucket |
They just say chuck it |
They come and go like |
Infinite dust |
The human race’s |
Beautiful faces |
Changing places |
Reform and bust |
When we kick the bucket |
Let’s just say chuck it |
We’ll come and go like |
Infinite dust |
