heavy faces
like rainwater
on tarpaulin ceilings
sinking into the meaningless
prose of daily life
cliched, cafe, journal writer
asking for someone
to answer
the why.
and everyone is wearing earphones
everyone
's an empty magazine
cover
stories
photos
colors, forms
edited,
taken
from somewhere else
we are no longer
ourselves.
thin, fat,
black bars
trapped
in a white box
we willingly enter
reluctantly leave
to feel
the joys of coming in
again.
