Atomic and spice

it's a half life
and wondering
about cloud

shapes and heat
homeless men and cigarettes

like firecrackers and half dead lighters
like fingers cracking and no end
gambling like Miss Atomic says

just glad to be glowing
in appreciation of the energy

the strange shapes and forms
the mountains limiting our line

out to the end of the valley
Paradise and old trees

hard streets that try tires and make
me think of cheap wonders

the behind the scenes life
is blisters and long hours

the cost of making dreams is
bad backs
and unsure Saviors

meet me by the praying Mantis
and duck beneath the fire
and make electric what was primal
