Read with caution! Control (Free verse) by w~* ATHENA *~w
All or nothing
truth or something....
What we search for is usually
found on the floor.
A discarded pair of jeans
a few jelly beans.
Smashing roaches
taking coaches....
Singing a song about old Nantucket
fuck it in a bucket.
A dog barking to be let out
A neighbor's kid in mid shout.
A gypsy soul
growing old.
I wasn't raised this way
you say
hey
look at yourself now
wonder how
when but is nothing but
an ash in the ashtray.
So you bought your stairway
to heaven
and you are riding in
on the escalator.....
up the down side
through the downward spiral
in through the out door
what's it all for?
It's for a while
and you smile
then you laugh.
