Astrals

Welcome to insomnia

Population (Zero)World

Walking shroud and waking dream

Dust the framed black, cropped line life

and you’ll be



Only vaguely conscious,

like so many dreams



Is life just

a spectacle?

Well don’t tell me so

watch it all go down

and enjoy the show

Denounce your purpose

blank snapshots,

ghost photo gaffes.

Now you are



Only vaguely conscious,

like so many dreams

floating up toward the sun

only to burn and fall away



Are we so much more?

Are we such masters of ourselves

as to deny that which is real,

and never glorify?

Forget that we are

nothing more

than our state of mind,

leave sour your potential.

Uncover your eyes!



Only vaguely conscious,

like so many dreams

floating up toward the sun

only to burn and fall away

into nothingness



Glass tight line flight

Wings soft soar

Sight blind rapt mind

Disruption

Word gathered spoken

Warn deaf cry

Faith scattered broken

Climb defy



Fall

Author's Notes/Comments: 

2002/2006 Song "the car's on fire and there's no driver at the wheel. . .
the government is corrupt
and we're on so many drugs
with the radio on and the curtains drawn. . .
we're trapped in the belly of this horrible machine. . .
and the machine is bleeding to death
. . .
and the flags are all dead at the top of their poles"
