pretty boys, w/ their confiscated smiles:
they walk along sidewalks pretending not to howl
their thoughts into barricaded minds & then we
wonder just how much sincerity is left behind
their calloused words, their shameless eyes
all caught up in assumptions that
the world is theirs for the taking
skyscrapers are built in their honour
while below, the pavement's bruised by broken glass
windows of the future,
widows of big city memories
