Bell Is Going In Five Minutes

Sometimes
I wonder
What if God sneezed
Just a little
That's how a nightfall rain is created

I see
A cowboy and a centurion
Mocking the antique mosaics on their boots
Made by a subdued tarantula
Which owns three angular looms

This newly existed epoch is congratulated
By a figment of imagination
And a bit of
Claustrophobia
In a bluey bedroom
