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
