''SITTING ABOVE IT ALL''
*is love*
In downtown Manhattan a chanting crowd is gathering round
south street sea port near the dock to hear some splashing sounds
the waves crashed around the waters splashing loud
the water splashed so high it scared the crowd
dumping sewage all over the trashy ground
police on loudspeakers start yelling '' clear it out ''
no one listens they move closer curious to what creatures
make such mysterious growls.
Distant jeers abound the piers are now surrounded by every man in town
staring down into the choppy waters of the hudson sound
seconds later giant lizards with furry heads float up and down
the coast guard surrounds them but they submerge below the surface
and can't be found.
Edwin's drinking his beer with his piercing blues eyes staring down
lighting a marlboro cigarette he took the filter out
sitting on a stoplight 15 feet above the ground
cans of beer on his crown
staring at a bleached blonde woman named alyssa
alyssa looked like she could be a stripper edwin wished he could kiss her
alyssa's standing in the bike lane wearing booty shorts pouting her cheeks taking pictures
down the block a hippopotamus is getting pulled into a U-haul by a bunch hipsters
pedestrians don't even notice something so absurd
there too busy staring at the lizards.
The lizards re-surface and start climbing up brooklyns bridges
giant komodo dragons with teeth like scissors eating rats and pigeons
one lizard is staring at a group of men who hit it with beers and dishes
the lizards bloodied claws scrape the pier tongue flicks it's snake eyes glisten
a cos-player dressed as spider man attempts to kick one
this causes the lizard to chase the man down and bite his dick off.
An astro van pulls up 10 gang members jump out
wearing face mask and hoodies pulling clubs out
ball peen hammers pillow cases to carry the funds out
they start looting a store called imperial dragon jewelry
the owner is a chinese man named louie and louie can't afford to lose it all
he fires a shot from his old luger off - the bullet ends up hitting a kid
caught in the crossfire of truer thought
edwin finds this amusing swat teams trying to remove the doors
but there trampled by the crowd running through the streets
like a circus of doomed report.
Edwin keeps drinking saying in his head im glad to be above you all
tall drunk and nervous the craziness in the street is bittersweet like his first day of service
serenaded by the trampling of people under his feet running away from murders
like the unbothered king in his castle the towers slowly crumbling under his seat.
Edwin's in deep thought ignoring all the commotion under his tennis shoes
all of sudden a sharp object scrapes his cheek
waking him up 'ON' his way to sleep
some one in the crowd got some bad aim - but that reminded edwin
maybe it's time to leave.
Alyssa screams let's go ''this shit is getting out of control''
edwin moves slow struggling his way down the lamp post
alyssa watches a homeless crackhead with no arms manage to light a stem
edwin takes a sip of his beer and feels the high within
something about alyssa made edwin grin like meeting a friend from a past life again
the absurdity of reality always wins under city lights certain attractions bleed within.
Sitting under the street lights in south street sea port brought about peace
alyssa found a detour as they started running south east
this reminds edwin of those bull fights in south greece
when he trained to be a matador but got gored by the devout beast
blood spills on raining cloud spheres benny's a sad clown with some sand shoes
made money on the south pier now he locks himself in the nearest bathroom
as the lizards claws scrape down the bathroom door this can only spell bad news
before they attack benny says to the lizards my last wish will make you laugh too.
Under a street light dimmed
lizards leap 20 feet in the air landing on anything with edible skin
across the street a delivery driver on a moped crashes into a parked sedan
the lizards jump on his sternum and start to rip apart his hands
seconds later the screaming ends
the delivery man gets pulled under a yellow taxi cab never to be seen again.
If alyssa only known what happened to edwin in Fallujah
special operations where werewolf soldiers roamed the valleys of medusa
under the guidance of a warlord named abdullah
summoning djinn using a sacred ruler
in time square the lights flashing in the night air
remind edwind of the tracer rounds taking life with light spared
the city's breeze feels like those desert dunes
something must of evoked those forces
reveling the coordinates of those mercenary death platoons
near central park an albanian orphan ex-special forces alcoholic
forces a horse to walk circles around your coffin
for the amusement of others tapped into the distortion.
Edwin killed many terrorist that were hiding in trees sniping out leaking sewers
but what edwin loved the most was drinking a 40oz on top a stop light
in the streets of newark.
It was a hot day that summer when the reptilians invaded
a dark skinned naked obese fat man sitting on a bench eating a raspberry danish
offers edwin another beer edwin questions his sanitary methods
but the beer was cold and the night was young as the dawn appears
alyssa said im not waiting here she walked across the street to the world trade center
maybe she can trade ideas the beer was so refreshing it literally quenched edwins thirst
and washed away his tears the lizards took over the city but edwin was to brave to care
he lives a street life you can find him in any town with a lamp post and a street light
''we will meet you there''.
