Poems

Jun 18, 2012

Cracked concrete, soaring sky scrapers
Hundreds of shoes patter across the ground
Designer summer collections of 1988 worn by many
Horns chant an uncomfortable song
And the streets,
littered with humans, cars and buildings,
can barely feel the sun.

A Georgio Armani Suit can be seen in the crowds,
Double-breasted, jet black.
It's cool style attracts attention in the midday sun,
as does it's owners confidence.
Expensive product makes his deep brown,
perfectly slick hair appear black.
His unidentifiable expression intrigues many,
a certain smugness lies within it.
His confident, conceited business strut reflects his situation;
A successful, handsome commodities broker
with a blood spattered rain mac in his $3,600 Ralph Lauren briefcase.

My poetry interpretation of the book American Psycho, based on Patrick Bateman.

It has the freedom of a bird,
the trust of a child,
the adoration of a mother,
the lust of a player...

The curiosity of a cat,
the bite of a shark,
the fire of hell,
the obsession of a stalker...


the love of two lovers
who are not even true lovers.
