Amelia - Cassino

Don’t pass through this ragged room

The cold old floor just creeks, and croons

And aches as mistakes stampede underneath

The video screens have learned to see…

Its blue eyes blind… spreading disease with

Vitamins from plastic tangerines

Maybe I’m tumbling…

Maybe I role with energy…

That I don’t have but need to eat

We don’t swim… we dive for what we need

This holy place I’ve come to clean

You can stare… or wash with me…

It’s covered with pretty graffiti

I scraped the faded paint you wear

And found the walls you washed with care

For the animals that wandered out in the street

Maybe I just don’t keep…

Maybe they hold you with their teeth

But I know why you feed the weak…

The hunger is permanently me

Amelia, Amelia… make your mark on mine

And we’ll see what image… forms when they collide

…And Amelia sank to me…
