Alone In A Dark Room,
Surrounded By Willy Whispers Of What The Shadows Are Saying About Me.
Sour Tendings Of Gloom and Doom
Accompanied By The Shallow Strings Of The Banjo Of The Hurdy Gurdy Man.
Note By Note &
Cord By Cord.

Time Elapses and Passes, Almost With Prevailing Inevitability and Guarantee Of The Worst To Come.
Signing On The Dotted Line Of The Accord Has Come.
" Oh Dear Lord! "
End Of A Life I Can Neither Hoard To Myself Or Afford Anymore For Others.
The Scariest Things Are What They Did Last Summer For Some.
For Me, It's Judgement Day. A Horror Yet To Come.

Like Today, I Plot
I Will Be Alone In A Dark Room.
Me, Myself and I,
The Judge, Jury and Executioner Of My Own Fate.
I Digest Down The Bowels Of Self Loathing and Hate,
Swallowed Down The Gullet Of Darkness Itself, And Vomited Violently Out.
I Came Into The Frindge.
I Swear It Was As Toasty As A Fridge.

Finally Reunited With My Worst Half.
Separated At Gene | Splice.
It Was A Roll Of The Dice,
To See You Again.
But Your Company Will Suffice.
It Comes With No Price.
I Think That's Worth A Final Laugh.

EVERYONE Savoured and Flaunted Their Peace And Chose To Ignore You.
Just Because You Painted A Dull Black and White Hue,
An Image Of New.

You Handed Me In Brotherhood, A Chalice,
Laced With Cyanide.
And We Passingly Discussed How They Fear What They Don't Understand?
Maybe This Shall Offer A Clue?

The Common Exterminator Of Mice.
Now Our Common Denominator!
" CLINK! CLINK! "

Sounds Of Shimmering Silver
This Sombre Ceremony Is A Celebration
Conducted On The Brink...

- In A State Buoyant Enough To Float
- And Yet Dense And Heavy Enough To Sink.

" At Least I Am Not Alone On This Boat. "
Met and Affirmed By Your Wink.
For I Am Now Conjoined At The Hip, With My Overcast Twin In Link.
