Hinterlands.......


On the far reaches of consciousness
She retaliated with accusations of infidelity
Sustaining a desperate yell across time and space
Reverberating through denial and spatial indifference

Once an island
Now a sea
Contorted to the jurisdiction of inevitable collapse
Sheltered from any kind of criticism

In place of romance a couple maintains separate residences
Between them the great state of Ohio
Where an olympian lives and watches many clocks
In a dusty home built by his grandfather

One day he has enough and forms a rock band
Which makes money selling fennel cakes to inebriated fans
Who are very conscious of what time it is
And their alcohol levels for sure

Time passes
The couple reunites and makes a baby named Sam
All is well
All is well.
