Sportin’ crushed velvet
Brass buttons, boutonniere, and a cane
Sippin’ spiced vodka
Struttin’ down the lane (our hero)
Under skies – bruised violet
Nymphs kickin’ candles out
Among the ten billion
The only one about
When oh, like that feeling you think you know
When a raindrop—no, wait—a snow
Flake dissolves in slow
Slow emotion
In the ocean
What’s that approachin'?
Could it be—oh, no—well, I guess
Entropic cascadin’ failure
Of which our hero be best (hero)
Slouchin’ toward Atlantis
Gettin' low on drugs
The moral of his stumble
In the formlessness above (the cuckoo in the cherry tree)
When oh, like that feeling you think you know
When a raindrop—no, wait—a snow
Flake dissolves in slow
Slow emotion
In the ocean
