The Golden Hour of Doom
Moving fast through time.
Reclining while under great pressure.
Sleet falling from the heavens
Soaking my hopes and dreams.
Like rays of amber that drench the trees during golden hour.
How can I control what is just beyond my reach?
Everything falling apart
With no hope of recovery.
I am a lamp.
I have a dream that I am a lamp
in a dark house
full of dusty chairs.
My switch is turned on and off
off and on
on and off
for many years
until
everyone dies
and I am forgotten.
I have a dream that I am riding a horse
in an ocean of pigs
rolling in chocolate pudding.
They are eating bacon
and sacrificing to mosquito gods
again and again
over and over
never ending
until
they are murdered by the butcher
and become bacon themselves.
I have a dream that I am a roller coaster
in an amusement park
specifically meant for the queen of England.
She sits in a car on my track
and throws her hands into the air
screaming like a mad woman
as I bring her
up and down
forwards and backwards
sideways and upside down
until
the court jester makes flapjacks
which he throws on the queen's head
and she decides it is time for breakfast.
