      i am down in this basement
staring through pictures of replacement
       dreaming of watch your face meant
       and whatever happened to the sound

             i did not expect you to follow
                 our egos can sustain

                 never here for long
                  the ghost and vampire
                    have combined
                and took this mind along

                     for this
                    brutal  ride

              Again its just not the same ride
              and  all i see does not see me

                    down in my replacement
                       i can't help
                   but rhyme endlessly

                 just because i look at trains
                     doesnt mean
                     doesnt mean
                       i am one

                    now help me
                    i am obvious
                 going to forget myself
                      and kiss
                          and kiss
                     the goddess

no longer afraid of the dark
or mid day shadows
nothing so ridiculously
teenage and desperate

I can relate to this...

Hey Jac ...good to find your name here...many layers to this reflection.
Your poetry has many sides...I recall your impactful breivity from back in DP ...and you also express well in these more complex ponderings. Love your signature...take care

I'm like a broken record that you can play ...
Repeating (as if it matters) ... everything I say.
