So Does it Impress the Gorgeous Carney

by Adam Gaucher - Sagittarius

Broken down in black and white,
even the first rock star had to wear her
war helmet backwards.  The proud
American news reporter steps over
dead Jewish bodies wearing a nice
suit while searching for a fine
burger joint.  He thought the ashtrays
were for his convenience.

In waving goodbye to a friend
forever, the prose artist is hit by
his brainchild the train.
In the distance other people
are sipping wine with back seat fog,
as the poets lie
bleeding proving always that
their blood has been the sweetest.

A taste-tester's logic begins in
the baldness of a smile.  The wise
man will find himself a tambourine in
falling water.  When the
hero's scar becomes just another
country road, it is time we write our
epitaphs is clay.

We've come into play, it's our
turn to chisel history.  The
legacy of a million is honed
to so few.  The living rise
dying so in love with each
other, while the idiots in training
continue spreading the seed.

And grow will those so insane die
fast!  Soon the beauty leaves
in these days no one left
standing alone.  United by invention,
the general public does sleep tonight.
Again it shall wake however,
deserving every bit it's
singular reference.
