Art Intimidating Life - The Ruins of my Mental Empire: Part Seventy-Nine



frantic moon dance
the children don't know
once the adults start drinking

star-lit return home
those damn dots
spoiling my dinner!

when the jelly mellows
there is a taste beyond
the fall of lemons

nasty little bugs
don't know they're
so nasty

golden trees
the weekend dusk
wake up for beer

a lonely sunny day
walking around
with nothing to do

the jazz man plays
along
with my sneeze

the steam in the bathroom
from someone elses shower
an intimate emptiness

a kiss on the cheek
stained with champagne
hello long walk home

the weak handshake
from my close friend
- take a beer for the walk home

wedding ring!
- the girl on the late night train
feels safe with me sitting next to her

as she sleeps
i open another beer
- what are her dreams?

the tail end of winter
blue green and gold
the dusk through my window

the business man in a suit
walks and talks -
saying nothing, going nowhere

listening to jazz
dusk like dew
im cold and high

four remote controls
can't even control
an afternoon drunk

they read their books
jazz albums plays -
an esky in the lounge room

helicopters -
the bird's
worst nightmare

drifting to mid-afternoon sleep
on the couch -
...am i really insane?

drunk at dusk
im sorry -
a mellow man has to live his life

if god exists
he must have seen this
- mellow drunk at dusk
