i the king of sweet fuck all

my kingdom

a car park full of broken tents

a simple windblown news page

sticking to the fence

and here's me thinking

i knew what i meant

and here’s me thinking

i knew where this went

when what i was trying to say

as i ad-libbed free balling script less

as i played out today

i didn't forget

i just misplaced the line

i needed to remember

i didn't forget

i just misplaced the rhyme

i needed in December

in an alley that became a street

old cold blue stone

sits still

beneath asphalt and feet

not sure what it means

a fey tinge of the unreal

but no one remembers

when this was all fields

i didn't remember

i just misplaced the time

i needed to forget

i didn't remember

i just misplaced the line

that wasn’t mine yet

    Fantastic. Your rhythm has a movement to it that flows effortlessly, while you paint a vivid picture.

    Well-wrought! You evoked a city wasteland landscape with which I am all too familiar, living here on the East Side of Indy. I've scene fields turn into strip malls and strip malls turn into ghost towns!
