Eyeless Faces

Mechanically inquisitive 
Draped on neon tape
Absent mentality shadowing
Of ill-mannered wonder
Faceless stammering fallacies
Covering all in suffusion
Supposition oppressing 
The veracity of facts
Bogus conclusions drawn 
Upon a cracking rudimentary
Deriding night crawlers 
Mocking the anguish
In hollering vestige 
A feint of exuberance
Compels a nauseated anger 
Griping my throat from the pit
A retaliating strike
Against this disease spreading
Mockery of life destroyed
Zipped and departing
In a blue flashing anticlimax
Mute eyes falling to asphalt
A revelation	of mortality
The astonishment fading
In shoulder shrugged releasing
Disbanded heavy frustration 
A barbaric yearning to behold 
The dark car fades into the night
Liberating unnamed martyred
Silently dignified
Faceless retreating to window barred safety
The street again quiet and empty
Lulling the city back to sleep…
In self fabricated security
