The Spirits Who Counted in Binary

Radio station in my head plays sad country songs
But only a thin static radiates from my lips

Resisting that natural current, with all my power
impeding my capacity to charge into the fray

Pale Moon face for which my fickle affection for
waxes and wanes on a monthly basis

Eye contact telepathy, boring thought the smoky medium
southbound birds, door-bound fixations, bad omens

Filibustered Committee meets for drinks, no progress
deaf to their hearts, confused by their loins

An impotent short haired Samson, shears still in hand
no songs this time, who's the jack-ass now?

Bound by every fiber in my being, by my enemies
a shapely “8”, the head of a lark, no bark, all bite

Flagons containing truth, drained for the courage within
amidst the warrior brothers, I wait in paper armor
