we gen x in the shadow
of the boom
of the boom
we subjected to vietnam era
rerun documentary
our own stories gunned
down with jfk
they got so worried
during the second war
they waited for victory
to procreate
the grandparents
in shell shock reverie
of d.day
in shell shock reverie
of d.day
we gen x in the shadow
of the boom
of the boom
we eat astronaut ice
cream and toy with the key
hung off the neck
by a string
mtv lashes out lovely
by light and sound so
we paint the basement walls
all night. under
the influence
bumping our heads
on the deep cut
we gen x
in the shadow of the boom
our thumbs blistered
by joysticks inside the impossible
space
by joysticks inside the impossible
space
hidden in the slant
of the attic and papered
walls
K IS SILENT
