! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! Blackout

Rating: 2.7


severance package of umbilical cord
paradise lost; pharmacies gained
multinationals gained; ambition earned
men are never through permanently
they carry the maneuvers the moves
of other times, other bodies to new loves
woman etch their boundaries in granite
darn! very territorial
sandy self-erasing lines that’s what spear do
but the distaff they master the shutting out game
skills acquired in dark room, back allies and aiding God
hone their abilities to see in dark
and one day they pull the plug on you
its blackout for as far as you see the
winding vanishing road of time

[Hey Moe! is this what we talked about last night? ? ? ]
