gather

my generation, part 2


are you still talking, mayberry?

put some more cream in it
and stop talking

his face was a mask
a maze
of conflicting opinions

a creamy swirl
a whirling mask
no less

cream
maze
opinions

in my shoes
more or less
more or less

some people think
my regeneration
has no face

"what do you think, sir?"

he stood amazed
beneath the willow tree
struck by lightning

listen
behind the mask
lost in the maze

without a face
no cream?

my generation, part 1

generate

"i am very disappointed in you, mayberry"

it is nearly time
no one is interested in your opinion

rant away
shoes
no less

tree
on all cylinders
brogans

on all cylinders indeed
a masked man
don't get too near

a spinning cylinder
nearly blinded
generate it, man

listen carefully
the end is near
under the trees

faces
in the spinning cylinders
with no shoes

listen
to the trees
my generation

face it
listen

kicks
