by lamplight
read books of old times and old fights
they allow a new life
by blue light
watch sci fi re-runs all night
with both eyes glued to the tv tube
it's all alright
my head is fixed on a landscape
a puzzle partially displaying a transient place
and I'd offer a piece just to play along
but I'm stuck wondering where I belong
or if I belong at all
the basement is full of fixtures
how the scene changes and I'm hardly missing out
I don't wanna
I never wanted to talk about myself
sidestepping questions of cranial health
exchange is optional
though so improbable
while
my
head
my head is fixed on a landscape
I find my place above the foliage casting my rays through space
all for naught such a lame act
gathering facts about something impractically lacking
like
my severed head on a dinner plate
I reinvent my death in numerous humorous ways until
My keeper's screaming from my little lie
says, "the trolls all play outside"
and "it'll all play out in time"
