The Point of Know Return

0 posted 2004-09-22 10:10 PM



lost on city bus
      watching the underground
   from a green seat
              green scene

I want to see how far
             this monstrosity will take me

          reading Lorca on city bus.
   turn to the oxidation of hurtling metal,
              chewing on city jugular

(God bless the children of the antique song
                  who taught me to see)

I have seen the land on the foreign shore
     and now I call upon it to shift.

What?
These cold trees are dead.

     live through air
                                                                               lust
                                                                     live through new
                                                                                                  NOW

                                                 I have touched the land on the foreign shore
                                          and now I call upon it to roll.

--rolling on city bus--

"Do you realize this world is totally fugazi?" --Marillion

Smiling...

there's books and books of poetry on the transit, no matter if you are staring out the window, watching the weary, reading the paper, or just closing your eyes to it all.

thank you

This was written in a style that reminded me of my pulse.


The city bus is a fountain of muse.

Enjoyed this very much.

Enjoyed the flavors of this trip, MCB.
Just don't sing the song, I don't want it stuck in my head all day.

Thanks for the journey...
