A Bridge in Brooklyn

By megaprime81

I found a fire flower today
It burned my tongue
And singed my hands

I took into the vein
Some thing
In the brain like
Cypress Hill killed
Kurt Cobain
Yet it didn't exist

I sold a bridge 
in Brooklyn
To a neighbor
And i still wasn't satisfied

I mulipled in that instant
Splintered until i looked 
Like the sun

Then i caught fire
Was roasted, 
Thrown out,
And done (pronounced: dung)

    I really like the second stanza. Sets a scene in my mind like a cool punk black and white film. Well done. Later -

    I was originally going to title it something with the word "Lies" in it, but i think this one's good as is.
