Victrolas And Creaking Bones

 



Somewhere...

A meat suit has reached a degree of decrepitude beyond redemption & repair.

Its skeleton clangs forth chipping away at itself as boney dust swirls about its stale air.Existing only in its primary function of ensuring each remaining nerve is 

pinned between bone and rusty bone.

Enfeebled thoughts rattle on in loop upon perpetual loop like the echos of a Victrola on its last crank, playing the same record time and time and time again..

Each time a bit slower than the last.


Suddenly, 

A bright incandescent glow illuminates from above..

An inner dialogue rejoices in that it must be Almighty God, 

reaching down from the heavens , to aid in his ascension!

 But why did it get so noisy in here?

I don’t recognize these people?

 

A cold horror creeps up each vertebrae of your brittle crooked spine.

A bead of sweat wiggles itself out of a tightly clenched pore..

As a Disembodied voice...

starts to break through the slow echo-chamber like chasm

of Victrola music and creaky Bones..

A voice speaking directly into your ear ...from some odd bug 

that has crawled in deeply...and nestled itself comfortably inside.

 


”Mr President, You’re live, say something goddamit”

“Mr President,  read from the teleprompter”

“Dont do this to us again! Joe....say something “

 

“For gods’sake somebody go up there and help him”

Gotcha.

Your comment I think I understand how it’s relatin’..

Your comment I think I understand how it's relatin'

To the type of country we find ourselves in the state in

While those on the right are rampin' up the hatin'

The President seems satisfied, he's Biden his time

Well, I feel it should be a crime

For the future of the entire nation

Stop the self-admiration and adoration

Start legislating and regulating

Your isolating is so frustrating 

You may as well be masturbating.

Keep up the good work! Great job!
