Dichotomy
and the choir sang
and the bells rang
and the star spangled in the night
glitter litter all a flitter
streamer dreams
marshmallow cream scenes
and dances in opulent moonlight
bakers roll
donut dough
and police run their sirens
night glare beat
screams of the streets
the urchin plays his tambourine
look away
don't stop or pay
just keep on walkin' by
hidden face
human race
and rain pours from his eyes
ragtag girl
penniless world
mothers losing babies
needles shine
snorting lines
society infected by rabies
and the choir cried
and the bells died
stars crashing to the ground
glitter of litter
souls of the quitters
wandering never to be found.
