feeding the lines

to get to this moment in time(some have not yet/some never will
many despite their will,are frozen in timezones historic
like buildings that once housed famous gangsters
acquiring notoriety second hand /or secret lovers
spilled via wikileaks of the gossiping hearts
splashed naked headlines paparazzi richer
with only a mock"reality"series as Alaskan salmon President
We seek exposure(like Kodak-suckered via image
into a thin veneer that substitutes for community
How many times"i USED to believe?"
Who dies from nostalgia?Replay riffs from adolescence
find everyone bruised,waiting for bus salvation Sundays?
Supermen now Clark Kent,rent on this planet due
foreclosures imminent.To get through ,we need (re)lease
all that has happened before,and our modes of response
Only when the camels eye needle is Bibical
(and we know who REALLY wrote that movie)
will scripts re-align to allow silence back into Heaven.
Until then,the blare of trumpets and the cry of cool jazz cats
waiting in a deserted cafe,remembering the blues
