Notion of Amusement

By Zahgurim

He comes to me
In my dreams
As I lie awake
Tells me all the sweet things
Lives I could take

He takes me for coffee
Hot cup-a-Joe
Caffinated content
Content in art
Art in slaugter

-"Speaking of Joe!"

Alas
We knew him well
When we say "knew"
We just gave him a penny
Speaking from a view
of trickling crimson spectacles
And what a spectacle!

Struggling momentarily
Like that guy
In that flick!
Oh, what a killer flick

We knew him too.
