Play ball he said (Prose Poem) by thepinkbunnyofdoom
Damn it feels good to be motivated. The time is now, the time is so now,
and yet I'm still not ready. I have a habit of jumping the gun, but it
helps when your dodging bullets. My heart is free, free, I can't
remember the hurt, because I can't remember it's infliction. There is
truth and then there is honesty. Which ever you'd prefer, it doesn't
matter, for like all grass, it will get shit on sooner or later. The
field is empty, play ball he said, No I replied in red, let's revive
this corpse called home, raze the bar, and while the fires are burning
bright, we'll have our pick of pockets to pull, straight from the back,
left of center, please knock twice, before you enter, beware the ink,
lying on the table, into a tape recorder, something about contempt of
court, and a restraining order. I peeled back the crusted scab, only to
find no wound at all, and scratched my head, resting on a wall. There
were no bodies, none to lay to ground, yet every where I looked, spilt
blood could be found. So I wiped my shoes and dove on in, as the chorus
slipped, and we had to start auditions again. Summer salts mixed with
rainbow sugars and lemon honey, all in a ploy for money, you should have
seen them try, man was it funny, campaign slogans featuring Santa and
the Easter bunny. They visited L.A., where they became plastic, went
spastic, it started becoming fantastic, and so they ended it. Tragic.
