Revelations
Fire and ice, liquor and meth Tires and rice, you have bad breath
Just joking, that aint the poem, haha _________________________
Flying among untethered souls of my history, I tossed and turned, feeling hot and then cold My legs were exposed to a breath of fresh air, and the city spread forward from balcony views
I begged the people around me to flee, the fire leaping from each edifice and advancing like clockwork, at a quickening pace, I didn’t rush them at all
If it gets any closer, oh my god, we need to run! And like I thought, in the new row of towers, flames caught and bloomed here-ward, toward us, and we all evacuated to ground level.
But they questioned me falsely, and they proved me wrong.
They brought me back up to the penthouse, to look again, do you see fire?
From the same spot, I could cross my eyes, and see that nothing was burning, nothing had burned
But right forthwith, a deadly snow began to fall on the wide, green lawns, and
on the cherry blossoms outlined below, and the vivid spring tulips, and we trembled, knowing.
