Today I spotted a disfigured man by the lake. His right hand in a soiled bandage loosely tied. Left eye missing - I dared not uproot his repose. I feared for him so frail, Beside black water.
Today I spotted a disfigured man aboard a train. Earphone hung from melted plastic ear, does he listen? He smells foul and looks unblinking - a commuting ghoul. What station can such a man find his home?
Today I spotted a disfigured man at dinner alone. His teeth rotten with gums bleeding - drinking soup slowly. Waxy red blood staining cheap napkins He doesn't care. An omnipresent reminder that no man survived a week.
