Boots approved,
Like a scab once removed;
A tank dances on pavement,
Click-clink Click-clink,
A pirouette of massive grace,
Click-clack Click-clack,
Metal and asphalt,
Commune in a torrent love affair,
Young and despondent,
An adolescent praise,
I thought I’d miss it,
The way youth burned my hands,
Our hearts fell in love with a cure,
That normalcy couldn’t endure,
Would write to you with inexbriant praises,
Between the Arabian desolation,
You’d forget my name,
Through western chaos,
Things changed…
Boots approved,
I was once removed,
And came back with someone
I never knew.
