A Separatist State Of Mind

A Separatist state of mind
he drinks in the day
drifting from place to place
without sense of time
fountain of youth with lime,
A Separatist state of mind
he rises with the moon
sunlight the demon's tomb
lurks in shadowed shrines
chasms dawn never finds,
A Separatist state of mind
with mistress train wreck
eye him like a suspect
sour and impolite
strung out under neon lights,
A Separatist state of mind
orders usual brew
the devil wants his due
greeting is concise
plesantries won't suffice,
A Separatist state of mind
nectar cigarette
free will tinged in the scent
strength measured in pints
ball and chain left behind,
A Separatist state of mind
burdens asphyxiate
wise men quick to make haste
cautious to confide
misery/company on hyde,
A Separatist state of mind
rebel's guitar pick
structure is eighty-sixed
robbing convention blind
sworn against the daily grind,
A Separatist state of mind
potent like vermouth
always ask for the proof
snake's eyes open wide
american dreamers lied,
A Separatist state of mind
moored in lonely shores
damned forever to war
route contra the tide
assailant to humankind,
A Separatist state of mind
the man is an island
risen from submersion
corrosive waves subside
indifferent to the tide,
A Separatist state of mind
fallacious glass ghost
bewitching mirage toast
gluttony in disguise
insatiable vacant eyes,
A Separatist state of mind
stoops to any device
slave destitute to vice
impending his demise
burning tequila sunrise.
