Courageous caught the bullets while the klepto's took the loot

Who will call me home to hang the picture frames
firefights
first words i hear when waking rocket ships depart
in mornings warm sunburst Les Paul guitars light

split the stars streaming red Rosie Riveter ribbons in her hair
flowing right from her dairy farm milk dress
split the atoms
neutrons
take the spineless that is me

who's proud when the days last daring doors close
lighting the weight of the worlds hope
the weight of spilled flesh
under fingertips to taunt

feeling of a comfy cold compress
making final moonlit rounds around the pond
pick you up in swinging grease fire arms
catch me off guard with a cruel kiss
white gravel fishing waterways

weeping willows eating cremation ashes
pendulous branchlets soaking up the dead
make me a hard copy insurance claim worth cashing
named nonsense king by the court of carelessness

throw my pauper papers in the air
let grey hair distinguish me from Death
i'm not a white coat scientist that shocked the world
but a sucker punch that no one saw coming
