the tourist news

this is the dwelling where wind is a bell and a beacon for death.

where youthful pursuit is punctured by family names or famine of fortune.

boys in bands buoyed by Onos and shared women.

lawyer fathers and social ***** mothers whose children are forbidden to **** up.

one street reserved and smothered by talking townsmen

whose belligerent brides keep tabs on their fellow middle-aged malicious

minded low-lifes

engorged in gossip are the parading fat men who rise early to feed off ones business capital tragedies

****** shortcomings of the stuck and single prey off tweens tweeting of body glitter and b-cups.

clique chick coquettes play house with their shiny image seeking male counterparts

who sing songs of their leather faced lady friends with plastic claws they now admit they would never marry

antagonizing cute couples secretly copulating with former loves' lust

only to mingle with conspirators molding to dominant thought

once a waitress always a waitress

with overdrawn bragging rights and unemployment checks

serving snobs like themselves who sip savignon

self-righteous polo popping perverts accompanying their prized play things

who join the charles river emigrants and stale french pastries

scouting the waste colored palace of prejudice.

now blades of winter draw months of blue blood

bringing forth frozen thoughts slowly dripping onto thawing skin.

another warm summer sun  forthcoming

foreshadowed by this wind-chafing forlornness.

though i will fall in love again

and bridge rats will always be kings.
