Rooftop rambling
You down there
Elegant and cozy inside your dumpster divinity
I can see the pain painted boldly across your faces
Each scar and crack tells a tale of times indifference
Yet you wear them like a badge of honor
Sifting through the remnants your eyes glimmer with knowing
like these collisions are meant to be
You fell into one another never having a clue
Hate and fluid swapped
On to the next one
I see you flow out of sight
Into corner clubs and shopping centers
Emerge some time later clutching pies and stomach
***** into the gutter and nod at the monotony
Humans harbor hungry hysterics
Small pain for huge comfort
The bars fill one by one
These rainy days make for awkward gathering
Nobody knows anybody but human nature insist we share common spaces
Walls fill and stools turn
***** fueled banter
Listen and never learn
long gazes propped on the elbows
Faces filled with contrition and self loathing
Avert your eyes skyward please
It's peace may soothe for a time
Humble and elastic
Like that chewing gum in the urinals
Watch it bend and contract
Product of a misplaced perception
I prefer these roof top views
My constant sky gazing may be cause for concern
Better I can see the tragedies coming
But we all must come down at some point
