Fireworks

hero to zero

i was walked in black limosine
cleaned all the way through
cleared and photoshopped
and then i saw them through the curtain.

they were sitting and not saying or doing much

and then i made the decision

i am not playing here for this or any of you ever again

this is not an auditorium for an audience
this is not a place for dancing
for a listen...
for kissing
or sitting nicley even.

where they may choose
to give their hearing to me
as a promise and a loving gift

this is a yard sale...
based on no ones here
faces in boxes not in their minds eye

and when i start they'll
just poke their apparatus at me

will they even care?
i asked.

i doubt you do now
