Escalation #4

"Here we are, trapped in the amber of the moment. There is no why."

-Kurt Vonnegut

 

The end of the

world feels like

warm cement. All

our bodies covered by some sort of god.

 

Everyone is a

statue now, trapped

in the form. Posed,

in a big boy pose, look mommy.

 

Feeling so strong

is the kind of talk that

gets you killed. Good

thing I let my fists do my talking.

 

Getting killed so

many times has

its drawbacks.  Some

days it's hard to get out of bed in the morning.
