"they danced by the light of the moon"

"they danced by the light of the moon"


Wand-happy frag boy
Settles into feather bed mud pile
While town brother bounds down
Lazy aisles of guilt green
Glistening with today's special,
Dismembered limbs in a red sauce.

And the flame crew chant
"Would you like fries with that?"
As fat man grins black,
Smiles smart and wishes you all
"Have a nice day!"

The humpity hump hump
Plod of a spit in your eye
Slow sweet stench that reminds
"There's no place like home.",
And whispers on into
The boom black surprise attack
And impromptu firework display.

Dorothy's innocence ponders
Her red white and blue chirp
"Why has Auntie Em been hidden
In the old fruit cellar?"
Norman laughs in the light
Of neon splutter motel sign,
Remembering,
Things are always bigger
In Texas.

and hand in hand
with the lonely hearts band
they danced
to a trembling tune.
and they made a last stand,
spilled their blood on the sand,
and they dance by the light of the moon,
the moon,
they danced by the light of the moon.
