A Mr. Red #5

A Mr. Red #5
inspired by pearl jam's cover of no code

what a body covered in tattoos your name has become
cluttered with everything from Jesus to the Empire State building
a dumptruck rolling over your tongue
let's flatten all this out.

here -
we are here together
let me photograph you.

flick your cigarette right from your hand
like a kick ball afternoon dog fight
after the school bell has rang

you were missing a smile that day.

light goes off -
let me plug you back in
light up a doorway

rush out to sea, hands in the air screaming a save me, save me
smoke evaporating into the air and from your hair
an eye of yours opens to see nothing but red
there goes another life lost at the hands of Mother Nature's zipper.

here -
we are here together
let me photograph you.

I really love this, and that cover was always one of my favorites oddly enough LoL. You find such amazing inspiration in the off the wall kind of things. Well done

Very interesting part...

You do so well when you're writing something inspired by Pearl Jam. I wish I could get so inspired like that about a band. Maybe I will... If it would mean writing something like this
