Out

Everyone I thought I could never die died
I am next I suppose
In this long line of stars leaking gas fading out
But the sheiks fill their tanks from their pumps of unlimited supply
And a coming sunrise is rumored
As the prospering vile rule the night

School

What did I learn today
About the world and forward progress?
The means that guide the new age
Chopping enemies heads off
Blowing selves up
Nuclear warheads
Work camps
For those
Who don’t learn their lessons well
At school

Dallas Afternoon 
Orpheus cried
And the satyrs all fell
That day when the sky
Went black 
A myth with no moral
A town with no compass
And now there is no
Turning back

The slate is now blank
A new morning has dawned
Without a Rousseau
Or a Locke

Time claps its hands
And the heroes disband
But forever it stands
One o’clock

KKK

Who goes there?
In the night with a sheet
Hiding blood in the brain
On the cross
On the hood
In the street?
