Red Belt Duster


Jet set hustler
Bored drifting to and fro
Reliving all the sensitive postcards
Again and again and again and again
Each subsequent vision
Gathers time
Like moss on a stone

Up ridges you muster
To peaks unknown
Looking to the farmyards
They look like termites in their pen
Wandering in derision
Voiceless mimes
In persistent measured moans

Rust belt duster
In the ozone
Like painted tarot cards
They dance a new jig and then
Writhe in their very own precision
Tart like limes
Remembering the feel of go

    Was a great line, you really brought it out today. Had to double take on this one, but it does seem to have the same theme as the others, nicely done.
