bike like a rocket
Red Dawn over a River (1929-1930)
Zolo Palugyay (Slovak, 1898-1935)
hot hot crab rangoons eaten beneath celestial skies
soporific nights draggggged out by rooftop highs
when the party’s over
riding home, bike like a rocket
the fast air smells acidic and bright
pressed pills in pockets
mind is running like green green lights
find yourself at home
find yourself alone
the color of silence
can create such a drone
after bathing in pungent
yellow yellow sound
it hurts
when the disk stops turning
stops spinning around around
who are you when the music stops?
what happens when the world turns off?
a drowsy night turned over
a clean clean slate
rock flipped
in a dry river
no chances left to sink
you can’t pour from an empty cup
but you must drink
so you must try
hot hot crab rangoons eaten beneath celestial skies
soporific nights dragggggged out by rooftop highs
to be more real
to tell less lies
not to others
but to the girl
you are when the music
stops
stop
park your bike
like a rocket
night
like a spark
