gone again like some kind of extinct bird
bouncing off me with a flutter of wings made of gossamer
rebelling against the restraints of civilization
a prison you create for yourself with the bars of your imagination
doomed in the twighlight in resignation

as you await each moments passing
yesterday's illusions causing havoc with your emotions
and time marches on eternily - mimicking the waves on the shore
gone again like a stray cat on a barb wire fence

defenseless and senseless a raven with it's eyes pecked out
flying around blind to sensation
creating a tornado with feathers of torment
as specks of dust honesty is elusive
transcending the barriers of life
with a thrusting tortured assurance
that your way will be laid bare and approved

think again catbird!

like the man who speaks with no tongue
your fantasy's and illusions of grandeur
will come cascading around your shoulders
like the pillars of Rome fell at Nero's feet

think again cat bird, think again!
