Insane Drum

by

Chris Lahren

beating on an insane drum, the beat beat and drip drip,
faucet conceives a memory, and the music of the time,
brings me to the dead pan alley in my mind,
and the apollo astronaut, woman on the shuttle,
a teacher in space no more, and the insane drum keeps it?s beat,
and a juggernaut president, a bully in class rules once again,
the telephone rings hello, you become your father,
yelling at the sunrise, approach the yellow line,
walk the yellow line, insane drum beat,
falling down and out, up and down and all about,
the CIA and the Iran Contras confused, the evil empire amused,
and twinkies feed the planet, the golden arches conceive your children,
insane drum beat, the Y2K glitch eats the time,
and a bug becomes the economy, the Wall street beat,
keep on risin? risin? like a sorry star in silence, drum beat,
yellow rain melts the pain, blister on skin breaks away,
can?t make mistakes again, history never ends,
shot in the sky, paint in my eye,
another dead president, another tragedy,
insane drum beat, taxes and despair,
red white and blue, the stars and stripes are you,
everything in between,
insane drum beats.
