Flipside
Pull up the drape
And show me all the light I may have missed.
Where I faltered,
Where I'm meant.
Show me where futures
Were altered.
Where the ambiguity of night
Was exposed
By a candle flicker
Of chance.
Show me where pro-art
Begets con-artists:
The duality of man.
The fatalities
Of butchered dreams
By meager hands.
Incredible feelings
Denied.
And thrown to the wayside.
Show me the break in that plan.
Bread dissolves
Into scattered crumbs.
And we lick from the floor
One by one,
Trying hopelessly
To piece the specs
Into solid chunks.
Stanzas break
Bef
ore Me.
With wrong i's
Capitalized
Simply to score me
A prize.
How dear Life adored me
And shined
Through my eyes
Of Dawn.
They came
To wet your grass blade tips
And all I could do
Was keep mowing the lawn.
But
Save me a dance
On the dirt,
Dear Angel.
Enwrap me in wings
And show me the pleasure
That memories bring.
Tickle me with
An ivory feather
And I will sing
For you.
"The flipside of a coin
Has been
Suddenly revealed
And the gambler has left
The building..."
