Feeding Frenzy

Broken cable, elevator shaft, broken rules, get the shaft

Falling into free fall, rocking, falling,

Fear daggers thrown, child eye daggers,

Stab with those eyes

Cut the veil, cut the sheet

Look at who is on the other side

Mud bucket, slosh bucket, waiting for you at the bottom

To rinse those feet, dip those shoes into water,

Out of slime, into slime

Backwards into the mud, walk away and don’t remember,

But, we remember.

As the daggers cut and slice

The mud can’t hurt

If it’s washed off, cleaned and scrubbed

But it festers in that dagger wound that stares

With the verbal bacteria and pus,

All festering and rotting

And we are in a free falling elevator

Listening to the top hat, dapper spat

Tux coat, waist coat (waste coat)

Silver stripes and silver tongue

Politely nods for you to take a dip

Dip your shoes into the slime bucket to get clean

While he turns his head, tips his bowler

With no good tips but to dip into the slime

As it festers in the blinking wound

We all get pink slips from ourselves

Fired for being fired up

All fired up and we can’t recall that we caused it all

Being fools and dipping into the paint chip,

Sheep dip slime bucket in free fall

Shame on us all

As the little dagger eyes stare up

We push them away no room in the elevator

Of the free fall cat call, high ball

Media blitz, blitz torte

Oozing cable, oozing pus, rusty cable

Blood drips and tears leak as we free fall

Get off the elevator

Watch your shoes, don’t wash your shoes

In the slime bucket broken down cable car

Free fall comes to a stall

Landing on stacks of money at the bottom of it all.
