Cat Bird
gone again like some kind of extinct bird
bouncing off me with a flutter of wings made of gossamer
rebelling against the restraints of civilization
a prison you created for yourself with the bars of your imagination
doomed in the twighlight with resignation
as you await each moment to pass
yesterday's illusions causing havoc with your emotions
and time marches on eternily...as the waves on the shore
gone again like a stray cat on a barb wire fence defenseless and senseless
like a raven with its eyes pecked out
flying around blind to sensation
creating a tornado with feathers of torment
like specks of dust honesty is elusive
transcending the barriers of life
with a thrusting tortured assurance
that your way will be laid bare and approved
think again catbird
like the man who speaks with no tongue
your fantasy's and illusions of grandeur
will come cascading around your shoulders
like the pillars of Rome fell at Nero's feet
think again cat bird,
think again
