Mechanical cyber erotic visionaries speaking in unknown tongues come to me in paranoia induced dream Playing tricks on my feeble mind hot metal burns the flesh making me see a god inside my mental prison Craving sensuality from inanimate icons of reality past which call to me lustfully turning my tainted soul inside out I wish I could sleep again without the demons crawling out from under my skin as I pop my pills and pray to a saviour I forgot in Sunday School rhetoric Laying my head to mortal sleep on satin sheets next to some sexual fix think of the meaning of life before falling to sleep in mental vomit. |

So that's what you've been doing during your nights--and days?!? My goodness, after nights like those, I'd want to sleep all of my days away! Brad, your writing packs power punches! Zowie!--smack dab in the middle of the solar plexus! Tonight try a nice cup of warmed milk with some vanilla in it before you go to sleep! ~ Wishing you peaceful nights and dreams of sweet! Linda |

A nasty vision of a tortured soul of a modern world. Grim and dark, I liked it |
