Neurosis (Companion to The Age of Innocence – Hour 9)
The age of innocence
The doll’s play gives way to bigger games
As blasphemy loses its might
When a young girl and her lover
Declare their vows
To be together forever
Conflicting emotions surround them
As they hold each other’s hands
And watch their age of innocence fly away
Neurosis
Innocence is contagious
And I too lie scattered
In the sophistry of the future
As I am
The neurotic edge
Of society
Fallen from the height of
That age of innocence
