The dumpster
(20 minute poetry)
The lights of stars can only show
what we already see but don't want to know,
We're worlds apart.
Smash atoms if you're able or go quantum if you're capable.
I sense the uselessness of jogging on.
Static lines and the I.E.D
land mines
wait out there
do you see?
Depression is the better part of something we should never start
worlds apart.
I'm finding obstacles
flowing tentacles
that catch and hold me fast
what then to spur me on?
and no one in oarticular takes these
particles,
they smash upon the concrete floor.
what's it all for?
we ask this many times
more mines to explode
upon the eye
asking why is candy floss
odds on
on
a dead loss.
