Hallucinations

I'm gonna name this dream after something cynical

Ubiquitous bottles of intravenous emotions

Bravery makes us all a little stupid

The glorification of idiots

Being the preview of municipal party planners

And network executives

I'm gonna name this disease after something beautiful

These are the days of glancing at wristwatches and

The constitutional grumbling of paper tigers and

The burning of origami infidels

Does anyone have a match

I'm gonna name this list of the fallen after a Dickensian love song

One lone dry drum beat

One lone piper

Playing Amazing Grace for

A company of incredulous mourners

Standing on ceremony

Standing on shallow graves

Standing still

A testament to the ghost of something

I'm gonna name these children after the atrocities of war
