Isn't That Rust? 11/23/93

Isn't that rust?
Isn't that a hole of rust right there?
You don't even see it but oh
how it has made me stare
Flakes of metal, shades of some
sort of fall, but for the fact that
these leaves, these departing
pieces, these flakes of steel
have never been alive.

It's rust
That is a hole of rust right there
and if you tell me you don't see it
I'll know that you are lying because
it recedes like some sort of
tangible sunray, the darkness no longer
an absence of light but now
finally as we feared all along
an actual hole.

It's rust. I know it.

You don't believe me when I tell you
there is a rust hole right there
but you don't want to believe me
you hope that it is really just
some falling leaves and
a dying ray of light
but it's not I tell you
it is just a hole of rust
a rusted hole
it is just a rusted hole
a rusty hole
it's just a
it's just a
rust
