Susie

But now I am even more alive

Surprised him when I looked in his eyes

I kissed his cuffs, went away, no goodbye

The Mrs. caught me by my sarcastic trail 

I thought of her ideals caught in laughs that tasted stale 

I fell down each stair yet held tight too the rail

I knew I did something for once right

With my bloody gums I can bearly bite 

Long ago I lost my eyes but I still have sight

My fingers numb when I crawled out of my lair 

I can't hurt anymore lost every care 

I shall find meaning in life's snares

While I gobble whole worlds of gears

Machines now worth more than unicorn tears

I cut Susie's hair with lovely sharp shears

She sang with so much beauty I wept 

I gaver he hair back in a jair it is kept

Her ideas under the bear rug were swept

And so she dashed her dreams full of brains

On and across the middle of highway lanes

All her ideas ran over leaving teary stains

One day I picked up her memory, so old

It felt damp and smelled of mold

I washed it in my house with water so cold

It shocked and shattered like glass but back together

She is now a mirror reflecting a withered piece of leather

This is our future, filter free, fearfull, flailing forever
