outside of The Box


Daddy Bear

Recommended Posts

He walks along without a word

Pledged to silence, like a monk

Hands behind his back

Ready to be hanged

Nothing taken or disturbed

He pads the urban waterfront

 

And in the distance there's a train

Dilation at the sound

A low and lonely moan

Echoes through the streets

Almost gives his thoughts away

Detachment keeps the breathing down

 

Cartoon mobsters, rubber monsters

Scenes are neatly cut

Before the corpses rot

Squadron Hero sends a Zero

To a watery grave

He sits down on a wave

And longs for television

With its fancy last-act answers

Cue the promised resolution

Between the cancer-causing dancers

The girl is always saved
