Alchemical show,
Point out the view,
Tranquilized,
We’re addicted to the fumes,
Outside the borderline,
Melt yourself down,
Shiver and shake til noon,
In a time more elaborate,
In the old regime,
I was behind the parapet,
Numbers on a screen,
Inside where bones are dry,
A cryptic fusion blooms,
So sad, day 2,
Turn on to shield,
To obscure the view,
To get broken,
Re-entry lines,
Be in no doubt,
Someone pierced the skin,
And sucked the fun out,
Divide and multiply,
Melt yourself down,
Shiver and shake,
‘til noon,
Any time you remember it,
Any time you please,
I’ll be behind the parapet,
I’ll be on my knees,
Inside the war,
We can the laughter and survive,
An abstract code,
Hidden in plain sight,
Turn on to shield,
To obscure the view,
Wide open.
