When The Music's Over


Never able to break on through

 caught in the time capsule

of yesterday’s tomorrow

he wandered alone … 

Searching the darkened streets

of Santa Monica

hearing the music—chasing the words

dancing as demons followed behind

Channeling famous voices 

 trapped outside a future closed

to his irreverent questioning

—lost within the storm
