wallflower in shaded green
corrugated plastic roofing
spackled autumn rose
sips tainted punch
under electric seafoam

distorted top 40
crackles and punches
soft youthful eardrums
damp with recent tongue visits

fingers twist and tug
meaningless petals flutter
eyes watch hands slip
natural rouge spreads
heating both neck and face

too ashamed to move
too angry to speak
daggers of poison ice fly
piecing both their flesh
leaving them dead in pools
teenage angst strikes again

silent walk past dark houses
tears fall on dusty streets
tattered gloves float  --
