Apex predator
Apex predator
Mines the night of prizes
Finds prey all shapes, sizes
Knows what it likes; takes it
On its reign sun doesn’t set
Apex predator
Fly fast, look out - sees you
Run till your heart won’t do
You watched, it knows - now flight
Talons, sinews - clenched up tight

Come begging for mercy
In and yonder on
What couldn’t I see there
In on unknown
My shot at the big time
Really was it blown
If not for my failure
I would not know
Holding on
Holding on
Holding on
Holding on...
Nightlife of my mind’s eye
Curious condone
One cellophane laughter
Cannot catch/own
Wonder if I saw it
That one thing undone
Will they ever be there
Can they have won
Holding on
Holding on
Holding on
Holding on...
Twilight in the suburbs
Murky closet glow
Big wall full of pictures
People you know
White light never seen there
Inspiration tone
You’re gonna get out now
You’re gonna go
Holding on
Holding on
Holding on
Holding on...

I Thought I Knew You

I drift in the sunshine
Sometime brighter than undone
I see a reflection
In a woke delirium
I thought I knew you
But it seems I did not know
I wait in the weary
Dreary heat until today
I wait no longer
Stronger beat in heart, and fade
I thought I knew you
But it seems I did not know

See me in my modern cart
Thought I’d found a work of art
Casting round a distant spell
Though I’m not one to tell
See me write a sonnet light
Thought I’d done good work that night
Casting glances all about
They say that “truth will out”
See me in my modern cart
Thought I’d found a work of art
Casting round a distant spell
Though I’m not one to tell
See me write a sonnet light
Thought I’d done good work that night
Casting glances all about
They say that “truth will out”

(whispered, not sung)
Night has fallen
All forgotten
Sins that were to be
Dance of death with
No more breath
This rain will make you see
I don’t know
For where to go
Was I supposed to see
Lightning striking
No replying
Death has embraced me

Somewhere
07:10
|

Somewhere found
Found and bound
In the darkness vague and future-blind
Blind to me, blind to you; silly fool
Somewhere lost
Lost and tossed
About all the many places
Places here, places there; no one cares
Lonely nights in the whites of your mind’s eye
Lonely days in the ways of the world.
Don’t belong in the makeup of strangers;
Let my mind unfurl.
Somewhere town
Town and frown
Would that you had seen it
It was here, standing there; no one cared.
Lonely nights in the whites of your mind’s eye
Lonely days in the ways of the world.
Stepped into that sloppy amalgam;
Let my mind unfurl.
Lonely nights in the whites of your mind’s eye
Lonely days in the ways of the world.
Sunshine gleaming on the dance floor;
Let my mind
Let my mind
Let my mind
Let my mind unfurl.

Where is my love life? Where can it be?
There must be something wrong with the machinery
Where is my love life? Tell me, where has it gone?
Somebody please, please tell me what the hell is wrong
Until I find the righteous one, computer blue
Until I find the righteous one, computer blue

John Coker San Antonio, Texas
Imagine a symphony performance with a freak incident - a spotlight set at so high a level its beam becomes toxic, aimed so
it shoots through your eyes and alters your brain forever.
This was John Coker’s reality.
But, rather than allow a supervillain origin story to define him, Coker embraced this transformative change, expanding from classical musician to a singular musical polymath.
