'Caught in a Turnstile' by BB

'Caught in a Turnstile'

Steely, blue smoke

Rising up through ash

The foggy Phoenix

Caught in a blaze.

All of to-day

Rolled into yester-days.

I got to escape

this maze--

Before I get caught 

in the turnstile 

of a meddling life.

That's life. 

Bittersweet, nicotine

Blackened coffee grind

A song so sweet,

You'll sing

Melodies of strife and pride. 

But we gotta--

We got to--

We got to escape

this maze--

 Before we get caught 

in the turnstile 

of a meddling life.

That's life. 

There's more to this.

There's got to be--

more to this.

One more kiss

before I take the road

'neath my feet.

Disappear--

down an unseen street. 

 No time for "Good-bye's"

Can't stop for "Hello's"

Maybe you don't,

but every One knows--

I got to escape,

But this maze

Is life.

.Eternity.

Your own damn poem.

Sick

These people--NO! these talking apes--are making me sick.

Today is a Good Day.

Ahhhh, when it all falls down! Falling down, falling apart is as good a place as any to start.

A Man

Melting faces in caves, hallucinating the end of days.
Is that the Christ, or just another slave?

For am I not a slave to life, until I choose to die like a Christ--
Reborn again, a free-man.

Certainly, most certainly, Amanitas in the Sky.
We all must die.
