The Gas Station

and how do you feel?
I'm standing, waiting
for the gas to pump
make sure my car gets
exactly 5 dollars.
and how are you?
oops, 5 oh one.
do you have a penny?
the penny thing always
has one just for me.
what you been up to?
pop and candy are
very hard to decide on
me? I can pay
for my gas and leave
nice seeing you again.

On Thin Ice

Only star-fire can find me
this is where I sit
Again I dream alone
And my world keeps going
I can't hear it
but I hear you
your voice still loud
although you aren't here
the air vibrates
sound waves pound my veins
here, the artificial heartbeat
and a groan escapes
Wild the beat
your figure illuminated
a silhouette
or is it the mist?
Far I reach
so I touch the sand
and hold it dear
as it sifts away
you are the sand
as the wind pulls it from me
