April 1st - The Modern Age

King of Diamonds - The Modern Age



Behind Glass

"Out with the old!"
You exclaim in silence, shaking
Barreling toward some new unknown
Inhaling sour Greyhound atmosphere
You cannot wait to breathe fresh air again
Or maybe, to be honest, smoke another cigarette 

You don't even own a cell phone at this moment
And your CD player's batteries are dead, so
You pay attention to the surface of the road
Slowly losing sense of time and place
You lean your lineless face against cool glass
And watch the lights outside refract
And bleed into the highway and the hazy night


You gasp awake
Against cool glass
Not knowing where you are
Where have you been
For these few moments?
Or was it months 
-- or eons?
