Fail....(with Capt. Funguy)
By A Velvet Tongue
spitless trumpet screams remarkable sharps -
splashed sociable with a jigger black
stumbling over glances without parting my lips
straw sip reconnaissance
pulling in airs with nostrils flared
Spit shine this delicacy , without remorse
nothing matters to the clouds...explode
invoke another harrowed tax break
ingest one hundred hail mary's
All hail dormancy
sleep sanely while the living wax fantastic
we'll ignite the firestorms in deadened alleys
maybe we'll bark the thunder that turns
you inside out
all hail again ...
we got freedom of preach
We got pigs stuck in donut shops
while nurses tend the weak
we've seven bloody sundays
two marred thighs that beg
to watch the hatred stew
it's crumbling from within
and the wafting allure of a
criminal whitewash , drags us kicking
sreaming and forgetting
we are where the cripples said we'd be
- fucked and free -
fucked and free, drugged with glee
alabaster winsome tie the noose
of seething neglect
upon we, ragged society...
All hail this lament..
we hail without conscience
gift ourselves to the highest , flashiest and
ugliest bidders
we hail the elementary failings that
got us screaming through our bulletproof
windows in the first place
Nailed..
upon a rotting cross of indifference
naked corruption, adorning our intent
we fail...to see the morrow
fail..to ride the back of sorrow
fail...to remove the nails
of society
barricaded behind the walls of
trumpet blasted preference
sipping regal and sniffing tolerance
we fail ... to see a cause that would
make us emerge
{Thanks Capt..You're amazing!}

Damn. This is breathtaking. Those last two stanzas... No I can't highlight a favorite part without copying the whole thing. Wonderful work, the both of you. This made my day.
