Lost

Shooting up sound

ODing on vicarious thrills

Following the path of

Stretched tape and

Circular grooves

Floating in analog warmth

Dreaming of

Jane and

Lisa and

Stephanie

Wondering where love has gone

In this world of

Video violence and

Straw men and

Street hassle

It’s burned out like a

Shooting star

I struggle to remove

The blue mask

When I do

I’m confronted by

Waves of fear

If I could have another chance

I swear I’d give the whole thing up for you

All you have to do is

Turn to me

But it’s too late now

You managed to

Slip away

I am

Lost
