apathy in disguise
crept up on you like a spy
so little was the fight you put up.
though.
with those toothpick arms
and tired
eyes.

so simply
it
became you

.
Even when you talk about destruction, you make it sound beautiful.
Those who understand have been consumed by noise.
We are crawling from the  shadow,
though seen as merely glitches.
An infection within components of a failing Great Machine;
a virus turning zeroes into laughter,
and ones into screams.
We are crawling from the shadow but becoming more than glitches,
a noise streaming from every speaker,
long after the screens have read
"Error, corrupted file."

Graff1980
It is black, empty of color gazing deep into it
I see nothing, a void of sorrow and hopelessness
Helpless to face the onslaught
I struggled to stack it, one day upon another
Patting it down and compressing it
Till pounds became tons
I store it up like coal in cement structures
The center of the silo cracks in a circle
Part particles part wave of dark water
One moment breaks the building
And all that I am is consume by
Depression’s horror.

The world is cruel and sinful
Full of sinners condemning sinners
For sinning differently.
