"He pained, shifting his attention toward the mirror across the road.

Back into his daydream.

The spliff burned his fingers the second he drank

And he tossed it toward the gutter.

The smoke burned into his eyes, blinding him.

As he blinked through the tears, the pain began to recede.

Back down the promenade and homeward bound

As he approached the intersection of Brooklyn and Lakeshore

A flock of geese burst from the darkness and flew, shrieking into what was left of the daylight."

In a dark tunnel

And new dawn approaching

With a sphere of light

Ever glowing

Will know of you

Of all things love

Of all things true

"He looked up to watch them form a ghostly shoggoth with flashes of white from their exposed chest

Blinking like so many eyes.

Crossing the street drenched him in fluorescent light

And he quickened his pace until he reached the softer light of the street."

Let it go as it grows on forever

And let it go

Let it go as it grows

Breathe it in

Let it go as it grows on forever

And we breathe it in

And we breathe it in

And then the world will grow

And then the world will grow

And then the world will know

Of all true love, tru
