Peace Song








It was 60 years ago today

radio said: peace everywhere , put away your fear

not so long ago
another peace got put away

with marbles and comics from another day
the peace they promised yesterday
was more like a ghost



a dreamy song

a freak on the street
who just turned away , just looked the other way


opaque and oblique


a nincompoop in an endless loop


strangled like a promise
tossed like a marble in a puddle


choking like a bubble
twisting like a top

in another time peace was free like breathing air
nobody was fighting for breathing air

the answer there is a question here

how can ~love be peace~


when peace is a shadow from an old dark comic

spinning off like a comet through a dark glassy puddle ?
