WINDOW PANE LOGIC

With heavy heart I brood

Where shall they hide?

Escape from savage assault

Innocence of youth

Pivotal infancy

Our children

Languish alone

Precocious ceremony

Kicked out of the nest

Mere bairns

Tripping to psychopathic quiver

Raging combatants

Tender acne visage

Bored to desperation

Catechized

By bogus recitation

Diabolic hokum

Of vampires

Adorned in Gucci couture

I remember through the fog

My days of window pane enlightenment

Passage into insight

Chemical escape

Vivid hallucination

Rebellious moratorium

My personal protest

Against conformity

I see familiar pain

In eyes of morose pubescence

Never to recover

Their cumbrance

Far too severe

Resolution

Comes with a hefty tab

Aging eccentricities

May they avoid

Traps I survived

Embrace the logic

Focus on His truth

The ultimate astral communion
