Green veins brim with chlorophyll
It sends color through 'plasts
Life beats with a trees heart
But the color won't last
...

The clock tells of a new day as the minute hand chimes along.
The seconds can't be slowed no matter how much I wish them wrong.
You said we'd care for each other but now we're apart.
Our promises were never enough even though you hold my heart.
...

I remember Mario and 5000 point flags
Kite runners and racing drags
Blue hedgehogs and flying foxes
Pinball and question-mark boxes
...

I try to put words on paper to define how I feel,
but the words won't come that make it seem real.
I've lived so long without any need,
but I'm living a lie falsehood was my creed.
...

The sun has gone
It's left our meeting
Here I stand
Still caught dreaming
...

Is it the crystal blue vase?
Solving an hour long murder case?
Plastic dolls at their doll house rec?
Cheeseburgers coated in shellac?
...

His fist slams against her cheek
Forcing a pounding to keep her weak
She tries not to make a sound
As this impromptu Tyson goes another round
...
