Behind the shield,
A night and a light
I can't turn off.
A night and a light,
A rocker
With a completely vanished side,
With a side saw.
I'm still on, alive.
Beside me, a buddy
Looks down on me deathly
With my eyes.
I stare back...
Someone needs a hobby.

The Walk About
Fire and imagination, Someone wrote today. It's a good poem, But doesn't see the face. Goosebumps still Unresponsive, Well behaved. A goosebump nation Held suppressed until The day. Current events are more In some... Their thinking caves. Tomorrow more Goosebumps suppressed Until... The walk about.
