For Europe Is A Tragedy
White House,
Brown coat
I have happy,
She has a moat
Crumbling Castles
Thrift store finds
China White
For porcelain minds
Year after year
Time after time
She cries graffiti tears
And I put them into rhyme
She lives in 20/20
So sharp it hurts
With no silver lining
To shorten her skirts
Goodnight moon
You tear-streaked Descartes
Brew unbroken darkness
To contrast my heart
Is Dublin a painting?
Or a neon tale?
Either way it’s mine now
Make those dolls frail
Glassy eyes
Nylon hearts
They steal her fishnets
And falsify her arts
But cigarettes permeate
And music soars
True humans pirouette
And I close the faceless drawers
Goodbye Barbie
Hello fractured minds
