In the beginning
**
A man on stilts walks by, laughing
maniacally. An obviously drunken clown
follows, playing some sort of musical
instrument.
"That about sums it up," my
friend says, and I nod.
**
In the end
**
A woman walks by, dressed in crappy stuffed
animals and almost nothing else, face askew.
Her navel glints like a diamond in the middle of the Void
I am falling
Leather Face:
(His eyes are changing, he has forgotten
what he was taught to say so many years ago)
In this climate of absolute despair
Despair is absolute
Hold onto this
She: Walks on by
They: Walk on by
Everyone walks on by
Me and Leatherface look at each other and
smile
THIS IS IT
Two kids are pushing an old lady in a
wheelchair. Their black hair shines in
the sun and they stop and watch the game.
"Wanna play?" I ask, and they
shake their heads in unison.
"Got no money."
And I want to pull it all down
pull it all down
walk away
the sun
