Poems
Nov 2013
Poverty
Two twin boys kick the
Water meter to their apartment
Instinctively destructive
Screeching like dying crows
Before turning on each other
Over an offence only they understand
Their mother
Dressed in the same sweatpants as yesterday
Smokes her cigarette
Eyes glued to the screen of her phone
Numbing herself with its glow
For a few selfish seconds [turn to years]
