No more lost than any faded
x-rated postcard misdelivered just as this
sky kind of slid down past your
subconscious gridlocked turistas
in a past life that you never could shake
all pastel & turquoise w/blood-stained lessons
up against it when the squad car bears
down string them along real polite-like
but don’t make it too obvious the mother-
fuckers are always ready w/the riot stick
upside the head like Sullivan he never did talk
quite right after & his eyes would vibrate
at times as he stared intently at nothing
in particular caressed by the golden light
that all of us took for granted
