Balls Capone

I originally called it “Numbers”, but Shiny Keys just sounds better.

Shiny Keys - By P.N. Neville

Shiny shiny shiny keys

Who’s are those

Look at these!

Where does it go?

What does it mean?

Can you feel the vultures

Circling our ground

Not above but all around

They can smell it breaking down

You lost control

Your apology too late

You’re the next contestant

On “Who Do We Hate??!!”

Don’t mind the voices

From the Iron Lungs

Bleeding Gums and Rotting Teeth

Enjoy the prizes that you’ve won

Caught in a room

Awkward conversation ensues

Unspoken blame

Shocking they remember your name

Flaking rusty carcass

Of a dirty metal box

Bulging Top and Greasy Marks

Dangling wires throwing sparks

There’s no schematic

And now there are no parts

It’s broken down now

You Can’t ignore the dark

You can watch the shadows

Dance in the flickering light

There's no more lessons

On how to make it right

Don’t mind the sparks

Spraying from your screen

It’s broken now

And it probably always will be

Caught in a room

Awkward conversation ensues

Throw off the shame

Now I think I’ll be on my way

I’m gonna fly

As far as I can go
