Speak Easy



Speak Easy
Miss Mudd

It was just me- observable in nature
Wall flower
I ran with it- still
For good measure
Speak easy
For the first spill of solitude
Or the words fire random
Parade alien shoes in sanctum
With the sacred.  Conforming to stones.
Inhaling sophistication
Like a new wave mafia
When you are alone in your Space
World speak easy.
Tend to me in bars,
Where my heart has eyes of millions
Watching others collaborate
Collecting each other, drinking up space and time
Until words no longer flow like smooth candidates from delectable warriors
Decadence.
Speak Easy.
The habitual world of habitual reverberations
Avoid truth and what scrambles to be the soul
Walk feet.  Walk feet.  Trample  Soul.
Wall flower.  I ran with it still.
Incognito.
Behind the worlds with millions of eyes
Watching you try to place me
In this Space World Speak Easy.
But,
Speaking is never easy.
Fire meaningless figments.  Let the mouths consume liquids in lies.  Inhale fumes - liquids in lies.
Transform soul
Walk feet.  Walk feet.  Trample soul.
Making time with a somber mind
Parade alien shoes in sanctum
Flowers on the wall.
Lost in this space age speak easy.
