Your vehicle remains
A hollow shell
Your vehicle remains
Rolling to nowhere
A vacant mask,
devoid of substance
A vacant mask,
Devoid of -
Merely pedaling in place
Working furiously
Merely pedaling in place
to remain sedentary
(The sweating statue of vapid nobility)
A vacant mask,
devoid of substance
A vacant mask,
Devoid of

There
is a steady
constant
terminal
wall
As we hurdle
toward
oblivion
How many times / can we break through
Before our frames / turn to dust?
Punctured and flat
Sent to molder and rust
The sweat evaporates
And returns to the Earth
The dirt takes back
what it has wrought
The seemingly ceaseless
turning and cranking
Ends in the deepest shade
of incomprehension
Our perch on the saddle,
A throne of gorgeous denial
The ride a displacement
of the claws at our backs
Prompting us to speed
into the infinite mouth
of the inevitable
-
Swallowing all (swallow)
on this treacherous path (treacherous)
Of steep inclines (steep)
and hammering hearts

nwanted
Sequestered
To the periphery
Symbolic white line prison
An invisible cage
for the rolling rats
Unwanted
Sequestered
To the periphery
A stampede of soulless automatons rules the streets
Use the chain
Defeat neglect
A prison break
Into the realm

Our penchant
for nostalgia
Seeps into
the psychic cracks
It poisons
our present
The mind detaches
from the Now
Only to float
into the rose-scented fog
of the past
Pull back the gauze
To reveal the scars
of yesterday
The beacon light of misery
Shone through the mist
Romantic exaltation crumbles
And the ruined estate comes into view
Gaze through the pinpricks of light
On the endless black canvas
And the mind’s eye meets the blaze of ruination
Light created by the burning memories
Of days gone by
The peripheral fire may lead us off the perceived dark path
Shed the past poisons (The search continues)
The search is not yet over
First crawl, then walk
Now ride to the glorious future
