You twenty-first century fools!

A walk across a silver pathway

A butterfly flaunts it’s naked essence across a stream

They spend the night together,

reality tears apart at the seem

The sun corrupts the rain

The night disrupts the mind

Work takes on a new meaning,

all of every world appears supremely fine

The fluttering voice hints of transference

but she espouse’s she, ‘doesn’t know the meaning

Answers arrive in the form of more questions,

they delude themselves into repeating, ‘gee ain’t we dreaming’

They really cannot converse with one another

They really begin to shout

Neither one knows each other

or anything they’re about

Confusion leads to sadness

and after anger there’s only regret

They’ve separated in the most distressing of ways

with the sharpest of gauging and tangible death threats

They’ve given nothing of themselves away

There’s only themselves to blame

but come next friday night

they know they’re doing the same
