For Tomorrow (that we would do as much as you would)

nastiness on the internet
television full of fools
double-speak on the radio
hate on the telephone
wish it all blows away
in the radioactive snow

horns honk
brakes lock
stocks fall
a repeating
state of shellshock

pretend hope of families
left behind feelings
of youth
no wonder so many
become riddled
with trifled medicine

swaths of bristled insincerity
luxury vanity insecurity
bugs in your home
and under our skin
jewels of memory
taken by pirates
buried forever in a cheap tin

blinds drawn
in the pool of chemicals
for the golden dawn
innocence strip-mined
by soulless trappers
doomed ourselves with plastic bottles
and candy wrappers

take another breath
take another deep breath
for tomorrow

The Fly

Wow, just finished watching the Fly(1986) by David Cronenberg and, jesus, is that movie dark! the man is crazay and never lets up. If you have never seen either Scanners or Dead Ringers you will probably not understand why. I think I need to chase this with something like The Incredibles, The Iron Giant or The Brave Little Toaster. My skin is crawling. I love it!
