In the city of love there walks a boy, His fury as red as the flags That hang above his head. An alien, neither here nor there, Existence denied. The censored fears Of a sister Herded like cattle. No more rationality, The city of love has no love for him. Monday morning metro A postcard never delivered Desperation and Five peppering shots, Blood as red as the flags That hang above his head. ‘I am not a dog.’ The glass shatters. A heinous smile And the screams of the thousands Echo through the November night, His the loudest of them all.
