Part 1

The Intolerable Suffering

I

Turn the beat around

Turn the blinkers on

Turn the beat around

Turn the engine on

Turn the car around

Turn the music on

Full throttle

Never brake

Accelerate

II

hands touching the sun

heat numbing the touch

heart parting the clouds

wind hitting the love

eyes viewing the stars

light blinding the orb

soul creating the oasis

utopia illustrating the illusion

looking into the meadow

trees on freeze

grass is green

birds chirping

man on a log

falling out of the seam

is it the danger?

stalking without a thought

knowing that you are bought

or is it me?

singing out of tune

under the sun at high noon

Signs keep popping up
