Midnight Outro

Take a bow...

Taking the light out with a look

when you go to take your leave...

...Stealing a parking spot in order for

a pinch of sweet(Satanic) relief...

The streets are a mess with un-

addressed

confessions...

I took my time with her...

I took a bit too much of all my time...

...and when the time runs out like a traffic light,

out of the sparkling spout that now looks cracked,

can we look back,

or must we always proceed with such arched shoulders?...

Take a bow,

but take your precious time!...

...why do you take so much with every heavy, ragged

breath??????...

This swift, and arranged death seems severely staged,

and perhaps with many multiples of crumpled trashy endings...

I can see it in the globe,

but I still don't want to know,

so I twist the answer 'til I get a better one...

...the fuck I thinking?...like the world won't level out?...

I drop my dice and pick it up again...

...my fate is turning green and gold,

as all the corners of the box I came in

stand on edge and spike this vexing night.
