Afternoon Theory

   for Kagey

 

wicked, crazy innocence

almond colored hair

trepid tunnel entranceways

blank, hypnotic stares

every time I turn my face

I’m lost inside this hell

breaking past this Wednesday hoax

I’m caught beneath affairs

candid winter atmospheres

foreign object spaces

grandiose interpretations

blocked between lost graces

and all because of innocence

and almond colored kisses

I think I’ve felt this once before

between the hits and misses

I’m locked within this glitter sandbox

exploding in the air

I can’t believe I’m here inside

this busted county fair
