there are bodies on the street with alleyway homes and crooked teeth their itchy stares cut through rain and stick on me they are wavering somewhere between desperation and apathy and i’m out of my head because i see their disruption in me there is a crisis of coldness flooding big cities there is a crisis of avoidance and a crisis of indulgence and it’s typing people to anchors and making them sink i must confess that i’ve glamorized my sadness and look where that’s gotten me the death drive has a hold on the rich, the poor, and the in-between fixated on an after-life that will never be or crazed by a substance to bring them to their knees this city is an ocean of people divided but dying from the same ******* thing -k.p.-
