| Safe Crackers Written May 1st 2004 Jade C Bell can you hear it the highs of the clarinet balanced with the lows from the trombone going to the sound of a merry-go-around or this dusty record spinning in circles around amplifying the soft crying sounds of dust flakes as it awakes the dead with the crackles it makes staring up at the eye of the needle you cant hear shit because I am just alone pacing the cage with the safe crackers secret lost somewhere on this page can you savor the taste of the crackers you don't dare to waste soggy at the bottom of that soup bowl and the band-aids covering the grizzle on your bones do you like the taste of your soul do you feel safe in this life what do you mean you don't no exactly where is it you will go can you wash all that flavor down and taste it with the water in a goblet where I am a man just trying to stand alone while pacing the cage with the safe crackers secrets lost on this page can you see your shadow follow you in a glass window can you feel your silhouette melt in to a falling sunset would you remember the code if I told you it’s unknown would you take the chance and dance down the same road or would you think about it how I was the man no one understood but I stood alone while pacing the cage with the safe crackers secrets lit up in to flaming digits and gone with this page |
