There’s a place I seek
Lying in the weeds and fallen leaves
It’s outside of the stars I reach
Blocked by a wall of streams
T.V. down the waterfall shaft
I hope it can last
I need a bridge to get past
I need a bridge to get past
The concrete gap
The concrete gap
I want to Bridge the Gap

I climb on shallow, hollow blocks
You’re blind to looking down
Where a question begins
There’s a diktat that’ll last
Through the glory and the shame
Every day is the same
The hands clap
The foot taps
You look great but let’s change your name
You mustn’t huck for fate
A lion is in command
Him and his mane
Oh I’m sorry, I’ve never been one
To look down the barrel to fame
I have questions on repeat
Please rewind the tape
I need a bridge to get past
I need a bridge to get past
The concrete gap
The concrete gap
I want to Bridge the Gap

We have a healthy disease
Fortune will pry
Fortune will pry
A healthy disease gone bad
And the sky is home to the heads overblown
If the heavens explode
What could ever be known
I need a bridge to get past
I need a bridge to get past
The concrete gap
The concrete gap
I want to Bridge the Gap
Will we find our way out
Back to home
Will we stick in the sap
While swimming laps
In the current retreat
Shallow and fast
Shallow and fast
I need a bridge to get past
I need a bridge to get past
The concrete gap
The concrete gap
I want to Bridge the Gap
Bridge the Gap
Bridge the Gap
Bridge the Gap
Bridge the Gap

I sit down for a peek into the window of my soul,
I can’t seem to find anything, I guess it got stole.
I stand to see better, but my eyes are too bad
I rely on these frames to keep my eyes from going mad.
They say your eyes are the window to your soul, but what if you’re blind, then that statement is cold.
There is no window in nor is there a window out, the bed box in your chest figure everything out.
I say don’t give your heart to anyone or anything,
Until that thing or one sees the joy the beat box brings.
I don’t believe in good or evil,
But rather I believe in mislead people
So keep your heart cold and your mind steady,
Oh yeah one more thing…..
DON’T FORGET TO GET YOUR BETTY!

Brooklyn Betty thanks you for your order, and it will ship shortly!!!

If you have a minute, you should check out, http://aintthatweird.blogspot.com/.  The site is authored by a good friend of mine, Erik, who lives in Chicago.  Erik is interested in all the little things that make the big thing.  He has always been interested in all forms of art, and has just recently taken up photography.  Erik and I have walked many blocks snapping photogs of anything and everything that catches our eyes,  from spray painted bricks to destroyed bicycles.  He took some wonderful pictures on his most recent trip to Ireland and I’m sure the blog will showcase them!  The blogs offers posts of poetry, photography, inspirational thoughts / questions, and whatever is on his mind.  There is no question that there will be many great future posts, on http://aintthatweird.blogspot.com/, to accompany the ones that have already been made.  So check it out!
