    fleeting thoughts dress you as a ghost
    the teeming meadow becomes a cemetary
    you never stopped to pick a cherry on your way.
    now youre creeping dead looking for a host
    never found shelter, never knew you had the most
    youll need inside from whence you bleed
    flowers grow innocent on the weeds of greed.
    two brains sit on a headrest counting sheep
    sleeping adjacent yet will never meet
    acme trains pouring into a vase of glowing glass
    holding water thats not even close to boiling
    holding a shovel and fiercely toiling.
    the truth is that youll die one day
    forget the things that made you sad and sail away to waters unfolding
    that is your element if you are untold
    buying tears working minutes our thoughts are gold
    and water make blood add mud get oil
    the powers that be will destroy me like time would
    anybody has to be ready for the unexpected
    anybody built it so anybody can wreck it
    lies are a vassal that has no sin
    we fought to be sold and buy what we never win
    find sanctuary in the castle you are already in

    i have not read Plath, but i would love to hear about it ! is it a her? a him? an it? a quark?

    heres another since you liked it, beautiful hippie vixen

    "Pet Duke"
    itching scratches
    to scratch an itch
    mocked by things parasitic
    attached to a bag of salty wine and rock
    glued to a ticking clock
    sailing the crust to a rift on a raft
    Joy is sorrow unmasked

    wisdom is a sour cherry
    chewed by a jester
    on his way to a cemetary

    ' cause..
    the rain paid our grub to grow
    and the wind paid the rain to snow
    and i dont know
    or else id change the snow to rain
    praying never changed anything
    except for spring
    ..an effect

    of turning grey array from blue and red
    no one will miss me when im dead
    in everyone is a faithful dog
    searching for a bowl in the mysterious fog
    Patriotism is a double edged sword
    Beware Caeser beating the drums of war
    paddling fast our sinking rafts against the draft
    painting a sacred scared sensation, modern mans tired bones only express temptation
    the only difference in colors expressed by identical twin brothers
    both go grey before going to the fray by way of a hawk that knows the river styx like blue knows the shock of never getting its fix
    always resting in my eyes, a haze of cumbersome tries to catch up to an impulse, the rose of no thorn will be worn by the grateful dead

    the scars on your head show how much weve tried to lie
    every song needs bass in the space of grass induced grace
    Rising waves, we are washed on the shores of tommorrow
