Lovely
we laugh and laugh
 and sing and dance
 we waltz away our lives
 
 live this moment
 
   bright and full and powerful
  the only truth
 because we can touch and breathe and live it
 
 
 
  so it is lovely
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 the only lovely
 we are
 there is no were
 
 
     no will be
 what are those words?
 unlearn them
 they are taboo
 
  along with justice purpose   
 
 
  conscience
 
 God 
 how dare such intangible ideas
 
 
 
 
     invade now!
 we never stop
 the terror and exhilaration are predator prey
   that we race towards and from
 
 it is cruel and lovely and we flirt with it as long as we dare
 we are addicted to the high of the moment 
 
  can’t live a millisecond without it
 
 
   or we fall <crushed into the dust and memories>
 we have the flight of our lives
 
 
   <for your lives>
 but it doesn’t matter because our dusty dreamy eyes
 
  dull what we see into
 
 
 
 
 
 loveliness
 screaming
 we throw ourselves headlong into
 wild song
 we bombard ourselves with action
 we bleed our souls out on the dance floor
 
  race recklessly into passion because there is no love
 
 
 
  unlearn that word
 <you are shallow>
   ha!  we don’t care!
 <you need to be rescued>
 
     we are already saved
 <you ruin your futures>
 
 what is that word?
 <your eyes are empty>
   we flee to the dance floor to obliterate 
 
     you 
 
 
     truth
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 because they are behind
 no one regrets <what are these aches?>
 no one cares <what is this agony?>
 no one   <lives?  lives?>
 <Why?>
     nasty word it should be taboo  
 <because ahead is rank with horror and despair>
 
 
 
 
  stop it
 <because behind teems with scars and failure>
 
 
 
 
 
 
     we can’t hear
 <you walk forgetfulness because you remember
   
  why?> 
 <why do those empty dusty eyes shine with lovely tears?>
