Apples, scotch, and vinegar:

The true ingredients of the human soul.

Passing through the bloodstream

Like a coiling snake.


Drifting upward and down,

My brain can't handle the truth.

We are all madmen,

Journeying the globe, dreaming of peace.


Unattainable,

The children skip around here and there.

Eternal bliss flows through them,

Like candy dripping off a lightning rd.


Hair dangling from my neck,

I take the scissor and begin to snip.

My everlasting heartache

Is calmed by your ginger kiss.
