Black Umbrella1
Electrify.2
With the white-hot intensity, 3
And razzling-dazzling potential energy 4
Of a star in the instant before it explodes. 5
But not in this moment,6
Of tasteless tramps and never-ending roads.7
For I, caught a star, in my firefly jar8
And it illuminated jade9
And the fog of war10
To my orphanage door11
Turned dishwater into lemonade.12
We whispered secrets to our only sun13
Encrypted in our tinsel-fingers.14
Stringing cords from the clouds to the sea15
Sipping jazz from our Disney-World cups16
All plastic and painted and princess-i-fied.17
Drink up, baby doll, for all is done.18
We’d strip ourselves bare with Captain Hook underwear19
While the Gift-Shops and Cafés closed at seven.20
From the Hell to the Sky21
Mannequins rushing by22
While we fell from the Earth and into Heaven.23
A little piece of liquefied cosmos24
A little dash of Parmesan cheese. 25
A little taste of black rain/black glitter26
To bring the sea-god upon his knees.27
Dive.28
Dive.29
Dive.30
As the cool-cats play,31
Dreaming of a future that came yesterday.32
As we came33
Alive.34
Alive.35
Alive.36
Don’t make me repeat myself37
Sonata of Seas38
Concerto of Crepes39
Nocturne of Vienna Nights.40
Gondolas on our sweet canals41
Of glowing stones and Turquoise lights.42
Me and You,43
And bubbles arise44
The prettiest shade of invisible45
C’ressing our eyes.46
Aztec Temples, and you fade away47
Just an after-image of my Jungle-Gym play48
Just a little friend made out of paint49
Just a little friend made out of sun50
Tempest-tossed and wild as rain51
Summer and honey-flavored pain.52
You were the Alka-Seltzer in my glass53
Like a 2D moon, you came to pass54
Like a little boy you lived to die55
Like a monsoon-pulsating-mass56
My cascading angel, 57
My plasma saint.58
I crossed the Stormy-sea, and into the Black Forest59
And finally landed in the Field of Dreams60
Where the Earth is made of pixels, 61
And the sky of glass62
And you rip apart the woven worlds at their seams.63
Where trapped in color, in black and white64
I will remain, until you die.65
Grow large and die,66
Live large and die.67
Until the world crumbles in its sex and lies.68
And in the Matrix we will begin69
You a star, and me a sin70
Drinking Jazz and eating class71
Wiping our mouths on comets passed72
Slinging our hammock ‘tween two pretty lil’ planets73
And sleeping under the…Irony.74
And at night people will look to you, and call you handsome.75
And at night people will use me up, like tickets76
Hit replay.77
Like tickets to a dinner theater78
Under the covers and around the post79
Under the table and around the roast80
Me and you, dancing on a dark June beach81
That creatures like them cannot reach82
Because, like you, it doesn’t exist.83
Count down from infinity to six.84
