a picture, a poet, a thousand words
crumpled pieces of paper guarding the gateway to your eternity
a cigarette **** rolling in the wind
a cold draft sneaking in through a cracked door
a fish.
   stuck forever in it's little glass world
   open a window, let the leaves blow in
   spill your soda on the floor
remember summertime.


a step, a haze, a daydream-nightmare
   a wall   slowly coming down
   piece by piece, brick by brick
SNAP
the light turns on inside your head
                                  where millions of cockroaches now reside
                                               next to your feasting, beating, greedy
heart.
