fire

the world is burning.
a human fumigation.
a bucking of life.

the road is winding.
the straight and narrow twisting.
the hills and valleys.

so long single sock
your wife now dressed all in black.
scared of washing stack.

in the olden days
we told stories about life.
now smoke and mirrors.

money’s quite funny.
for men whose days are sunny.
i still can’t find sense.

the long red ribbon.
angry gash to start the day.
stuck in the rat race.
