Mushroom Lamps

in pairs
they light up
dark sticky air
every morn you drive
.
white bulbs leaving
dark sockets
on mutilated faces
.
connecting to yours
scared and hiding
behind dark glasses
.
rising slowly
floating high
silky white light
on stinking air
heavy with guilt
dense with
anger & fear
.
step on the pedal
kill the bastard
shatter the lamps
out of the sockets
.
before they break free
roam thru our dreams
filling the night

with scary white light

.
