Cave

So claustrophobic she would break downat descriptions of the cave systemsthat weaved below the whole entire town.Outdoor stores where no one’s sellinganything important, but plastic jewelrytries to argue just the opposite. Waking up in the middle of the dayin a motel room by yourselfwith just the T.V. playing nothingbut old westerns.The free breakfast at the […]

Stasis

Starvation is a slow way out of everything,and we’ve forgotten that in the timewe’ve both sat waiting in this drive through.The speaker that you order with is placedlike some odd hearing aid in the centerof a kind of plastic ear.No one knows what they wantuntil they see it shine and soldby someone else, but it […]

She is watching over the streetthat us nobodies cross to make it backto living spaces we cannot afford.She has a sword with herup on that roof, in just her night gown.It […]

Losers

Look at this personwith their rotting teethand lack of prospectsgenerally. I bet they do not evenrealize how we talk abouttheir lack of standing up. Or I guess I meanthey’re clueless abouteverything. They live in cars and cuttheir hair with eighty cent lighterssavoring the odor in the air. They aspire to what they aren’tcut out for […]
