Less is More

After years of time travel
to a place unknown to anyone her age
she stands with the gas can
and watches her father burn.

months prior
in a gentlemans club full of no smoking signs
he sat and told her of how cold the sun was in July
amongst the snowflakes.

She opens her eyes on a page
"left blank intentionally," it said.
the smell of gasoline still fresh on her skin
she signs her name in red ice.

as the sun and moon dance the waltz
the cigarette falls from her lips.
watching the blaze dance across the ocean
she smiles.

You come up with thought-provoking lyrics. It doesnt have to rhyme since its poetry and thats not what makes it so.

This is very interesting. I like the simplicity, straight up poetry should always be more simple yet able to deliver a message and this accomplished that.

I don't like it. Why? Two reasons.

1. I don't understand it. I cannot find the paradoxes.
2. It makes me feel dumb (see #1).

Well, I may not be too bright but at least I'm good looking. Or at least I claim to be.
