regret is trending
tonight
while lost and afraid
are running neck and neck
really very close behind

heartbreak leads beauty's
appreciation by an artery
and life is so ******* me
is greasy on the page
curled metaphorically up

all doubtful
of our intentions
as we skip through
sliding on eyeballs
and wet afternoon air

they bunch up
into rhythmic herds
of black and white accusations
of our blindness and willful
numbness; well, us
