Force Quit - Chemlab, En Esch, Michael J Carrasquillo

I can see the curtain

The ending

Knew it was on it’s way

I just didn’t want it to be today…

Watching the cityscape

Drift from day to dusk to dark

Blurily indistinct the sooty cape

Slowly slips across it’s jagged shape…

Lights signaling

Some winking on

Then blinking off…

Lights signaling

Some winking on

Red and red and white…

I can see

Pigs over batter sea

Floating in flight…

On quiet nights I can hear the stars

And cosmonauts talk

A ragged 30-watt moon

Hangs over my hotel room…

I saw you nodding out in

The mouth of the night

Face full of white light grace…

And I push your body out into space

Let it go

Watch it drift away…

Going on to beggar and bitter things

Just a fly with little plucked off wings…

Going on to beggar and bitter things

Never fly

Never earn your wings…

And when the stars are all burned out

Don’t try and tell me what it’s all about
