STOP THE FLOW
jhimm, written 1996
Fully automatic blue bottle life container
don't leave me in the sun.
Sawed-off slide show raisins and prunes
stop smiling like a gun.
Star struck swimmers of airborne seas
are now my only friends.
Full metal sports-coat fools and queens
seen only through a sunspot lens.
Stop the flow {x4}
Inspiration flows like salt, on a wound
Don't kiss me until I'm cured
Separation creeps like ants, on a leaf
Sleeping where once it soared.
Pressure treated hanging gardens of glass
terraces all naturally made.
Full on plasticine halogen buzz toys
all familiar things seem strayed.
Nuclear roadblock falters silver space ships
been hanging around out to dry.
Cast iron dumpster rot floats purple breezes
cinnamon wheat toast on pumpernickel with rye.
Stop the flow {x4}
Inspiration flows like salt, on a wound
Don't kiss me until I'm cured
Separation creeps like ants, on a leaf
Sleeping where once it soared.
Stop the flow {x4}
