Cupful of Eyes

Filter your designation
good tea is a good song
sips of the blackest tea
we're friends with coffee
float to our destination
good tea is brewed too long
young and old, deepest sea
wild cars are set free

Three doors and tree floors
and I'm sitting on a lonely chair
wild cars wheeze, drivers' hair
suffocating youth, dissipating air

The spirit of the outside air
going through a life, now fair
the beating heart's lair
with a caffeinated pair

They flew in
through the open windows

The world speaks of war
and the mountains' daily roar
as I sit in the coffee house
all the chirps in a blouse
the windows are my earthly eyes
a filter from the outward lies
a coffee house with blood outside
and the cups we laid out, lied.

Absolute Zero: Person on the Streets

"Tummy aches
oh, you poor little kid
crying because you're hungry
for a twenty-year job experience
you will starve to death
simply because you're poor
poor and stupid and poor
go beg on the streets."

Humanity at absolute zero
when offered a free rose
denied that a tree rose
from the seeds of your glee hose
ugly as your wee pose
like you have a pee nose
the road that three chose
to your absolute zero

Hungry for survival
we're all poor little kids
smashing our heads
onto a fresh loaf of bread
drinking good wine
and shitting fresh grapes
awaiting spring to come
at absolute zero

The frost is now gone
but there's always an excuse
the summer's so cold
the autumn's so hot
a reason to not fight
a reason to fall back

At absolute zero
we will all burn

A person on the streets
screaming intelligible gibberish
bla ya seh lo
gu reh wi lo
"Blast 'ya away
into absolute zero
good riddance
we're all lowly scums."
