Tarot Card XVIII - The Moon fakes his death to escape the Sun
By Alex Stolis
i want to run away
to the West Coast
but everyone already
lives in LA
and it's certain
i'd get caught
with my hand
in the till
i know it wasn't smart
to talk to that chick
with the fishnets
she spoke real slow
and quoted lou reed
i thought
for a minute
she could help me
escape but she wanted
to plan a coup
called herself my
revolutionary sweetheart
there are too many
bars to drink in and only
so many lucky breaks
that get handed out
and since i'm afraid
to drown alone
i told her to pour
me another
and we'd bury
the bodies
at sunrise
