with feet and brain rolls like beads of painted purple crimson dew dropping on his running shoe. Burgundy wine on a white carpet the tannins and pigments are a tar pit that cannot be wiped clean. A black ink marker on the old man's leather couch embedded like a joey in his momma's pouch. He cannot wipe the blood from the scene. It's there for all. And all have seen this human stain.

This Human Stain
with feet and brain rolls like beads of painted purple crimson dew dropping on his running shoe. Burgundy wine on a white carpet the tannins and pigments are a tar pit that cannot be wiped clean. A black ink marker on the old man's leather couch embedded like a joey in his momma's pouch. He cannot wipe the blood from the scene. It's there for all. And all have seen this human stain.
