102 Waterfalls: Complicated Grief
A Cat-cher in the Rye
..
..
Psychological Con-Fuzzions
Are a curious thing...
It could be what happens
When MockingBirds Sing -

Electro-shock treatments
Blasting criss-cross conceptions
Requiring circuitous tactics
Producing dramatic connections

Factor in psychoanalytic surgeries
A most tricky endeavor...
This is probably what you get
When you ask for Forever

They're bellowing madly below
You're screaming "Shut the f**k UP!"
I’m beginning to wish for
The balls to vote "TRUMP!"

This isn't a warning
It's just what happened to me
And now that I've moved
I can't ever be free

It follows you around
Like a bad rollercoaster ride
Technology runnin' backwards
You're trembling inside

They rattle your nerves
And wake up your head
It cuts you inside
But you know you're not dead

About the story as we knew it
I no longer give a rat's ass
I'm nobody's martyr
I crawled through the glass

Through a red ring of poison
Of ugliness and gloom
I shed all the fake Desiderata
And cast a cure for its Doom

Their Light can disperse
Up in the clouds, for all I “care”
I've no need to rehearse
When life is equal and fair

As to their shadow superfluity
I've found Wisdom more rare
I'm looking up at the Sky
I'm still hunting the Bear

The last thing you're gonna
Hear out of me
Is my lesson I've learned
The truth I now see

It's the sickness and torture
Of Blackness at Noon
I left my Stingrays behind
And wait for the Moon
..
..
