Abyss

Veined avenues of broken tar
lead past clumps of pigment free,
congested abodes.

Fight, we will, for sun shedding warmth,
while grunting through a meager meal;
watching the want ads for sustenance through sweat.

Shirt collar starched though wilted,
quills of hair parted to meet the challenge,
we show up shaved but shown the door.

Waddle we will, to stale bread,
spittle softening the dough.

A pee in an empty pool;
that hollow hole surrounded by chlorine dripped grass,
as yellow as my flesh.

We sleep in herds;
find safety from the unknown
as fabric begins to tear,
leaving acres of sailcloth,
no longer able to catch the wind.

Edward Rochester Esq.

It's easier to get forgiveness for being wrong than forgiveness for being right.
