When The Good Die Young..
The seven o'clock shuttle was approaching the platform
As I was presenting my bullhorns to transform swarms
It was a stormy day, but I couldn’t be late another time
In my prime, climbing mountains on the highest incline
Was all I had in mind as the last line of people entered,
The subway’s centre, the train made its departure…
I made like Helter Skelter.
Seeking shelter for the darkness, the final dash upon me
My muscles tensed up, it’s just my life… Like Bon Jovi
Burned it to a degree as the floor was melting behind me
I was leaving debris in my path like a screaming banshee
Was following behind me.
I shoved through like molars and knocked over a stroller
Made like a bowler and rolled my balls over shoulders
It was a high rollers game but I needed to get to work fast
At last I was standing there, but the train got the last laugh
It sped away on the tracks as people glowered and stared
Got a few “What the fucks?” from the homeless impaired
I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t scared, ‘cause really I was
The masses enclosed me, like bees presenting their claws
I received a blow and a pause.
Moments later I awoke dazed and confused on the tracks
With no time to react… People were pissed with my ass
A light approached fast, gases left my lungs expecting
What God was presenting, I’d take it without reflecting
On something I wasn’t suspecting.
A kid jumped onto the tracks, knocking me way sideways
If that’s what a train had felt like I’d be doing it on ‘Y’ days
Amazed at the impact, the light in the tunnel approached fast
With the horrid screech of tire tracks I screamed last
Turns out I wasn’t dead, but I wish I was, guilt filled my lungs
They exploded when I was ninety:
......................................Because the good die young.
