45*21

sometimes it's too easy to get muscle bound by life
and Art can be creepy with a receding hairline
flesh has its limits dogged again and again by age
these pillars of truth dissolve again and again
and a mirror is the result. A lampshade might work
to further the wrinkles. Man! was it a sausage factory
the devil comes in the form of many candles
a trick we've seen every barker perform
a walk along the Champ d' Elysee where the shops reflect
back what you are. You do not kill what you do not know
at least not on purpose. So they all lit another cigarette
and carved a surname into an old tree
the latter being the equivalent to all the history they'll
know unknown by the time they are known
like an automobile that is not featured anywhere
you walk down the street obscenely anonymous
even the gate keeper of your own hell disowns you
well that is a step up from having to come into this world
where all the birds chirp for some summer solice
and is it fair to say there is no time when they fly?
