Life and TImes of Ichabod Jones

Posted on April 21, 2013 by Charles Yallowitz

Ichabod Jones is a simple scruff

Living on the edge

Dangling his feet

Into the sickening fog

Peering up at the flying city

Humanity’s only home

 

Ichabod Jones remembers times

When man walking richest soil

Instead of echoing steel

Before the fog encompassed all

Forcing man into the sky

With nothing more than memories

 

Ichabod Jones breathes deep

Inhaling wisps of fog

Nothing more than a sour taste

Dancing on his gums

Instead of agonizing pain

For those that seek his services

 

Ichabod Jones is a diver

One of the lucky ones

Who can return to lands long lost

Charging all who wish to pay

For a scrap of forgotten time

Or a keepsake left behind

 

Ichabod Jones is a simple scruff

Content within his little life

Never wanting more than need

Or perhaps a flask of shine

Enjoying his adventures

Without wading in too deep

    *Dances to Charles’s Poem* This would be a good intro to a mystifying & superbly intense dubstep track, Something like a headhunterz track! >.< I lub dub step so I always try to find awesome things that mesh well with the beat and tempo of the drooooop.

    As always your Poems are beyond amazing!

    Bravo!
