Near golden sunsets

This one goes out to Ryan.

It comes in all sort of flavors,
Red, white, yellow and green.
And it never makes more sense
than a practical prank.

You've seen it everyday
as it pounds away in frustration
at the network of invisible chains
crisscrossing the local parks
and all-night Perkins.
Did you hear it when it roared
through your amazingly thick
hair
and on into the forest where
rabid deer and lackadaisical squirrels
fall from tree to tree to tree?

It's unimaginable how unselfishly
crazy it must have been for it to
peek around the corner of Iowa
and notice that we don't really exist anymore.
We're just sliding, sliding, sliding
intriguingly through a matrix (edit)
and incredibly high-sugar levels.

Did you feel those pangs of impatience
as they tore through your toes
and up through your nostrils?
I know I sure did,
and it certainly wasn't no hunger pains
that I was feeling then.

I'm lost on this one, but I guess I would be seeing as it was meant for a certain person.
Thought I'd give it a boost.

Masked Intruder encourages Constructive Critiques eh? Well, ummm, I don't want to start what happened last time I "constructively critiqued" one of your poems. You [edited by Moderator]. *grins* Hehehehe. Well, I like this. I think I liked the director's cut better that you showed me. Original and uncut. Hehe. The ending could be a bit stronger. So there's my constructive critique. I'm warming up for another foray into CA. Haven't been there for a while. Maybe they remember me. Maybe. And watch out for those [edited by Moderator] impatience pangs. They get you when you just ain't looking for them.
