03: Compare & Be Free

As I turned the old rusty tap
Hearing its screeching
I could almost feel a quiescent like essence
That was hovering freely above

The fleeting past

I can't save today
Or any day
It's winding itself away
Forever sanguine
Sallying on down
To somewhere larger
Than life itself

The more I yearn to capture it
Adorn it
Wrap it
Stop it
The more I see the beating machine
With its tick-tock feats
Information elites
Its summons of no repent
Billboard banality of shiny
Impostor
Inane
Catch-phrases
Compare and be free

Then go depart capricious one
You lay to dormant
Not striving
Clinging
Needy
Too grey in our tinsel town
And poor in status
