Ghost Marker

This time, keeping in time,
with all the other jokes on you.
Laughter’s your best impression
Left dented with succession now.
I’ll blame the apple cart.
Outside’s dead and besides that
there’s nothing else left out to crave.
Maybe we’ve kept it simple for too long
getting freckled now. My brightness doesn’t burn
They stand vulture position
Ghost marked acceleration
New starts for your due parts
Taking time to make your mark
Ambivalent decisions
keep guessing no one’s got you now.
As if they ever did.
They stand vulture position
Ghost marked acceleration
Don’t you always want those things to be the same
Always growing farther
Ghost marker outlines these storied times
Needing time was all mine.
