outside a car is rolling by and they're throwing big blocks of wood
that sometimes other cars run over
and it splinters
and hits pedestrians and i hear
yelling and cursing
and babies shouting
as the ambulance arrives
and performs the heimlich-
and a hellicopter in the distance is swallowed by angry clouds.
any way-
i haven't been to the grocery store in 2 months-
but i buy plenty of energy drinks at the rite aid and sometimes nougat bars and various
fruits and grains.
i walk out of there
and a woman kind of leers at me, and her dog is lunging at me and i grip my knife--
but it was my fault
because i'm ugly apparently.
then the rain comes,
and i'm stuck for 6 hours swinging my head around and looking into an eclipse
and the *******
all ride ponies while the apocalyse looms ever nearer and
the doomsday horsemen behead a man in istanbul.
the bag of coins
is shiny like fresh tin foil
in a box of mints
