Looking At Nothing

Blond in a corner
Scab-faced - face-chewer

Insidious narcissist
Asseverates feigns for empathy
Pontificates spiels on sobriety 

The carpet stained – the smell of sewer

A seventy dollar catalyst
Being passed – contained in glass
The anticipation is also the allure.

Derail – engage – yell

What twisted place is this?
What sick new sons of Belial?

Dismal – Impetus.

Divine justice is impetuous
When rock bottoms surpass 
The abysmal depths of hell.
Regret all past professions
Regretting all you avowal 

Become a regret, like the blond in the corner.
Come here, I will show you how.

Fantastic poem, my friend! The blond in the corner. I can see her, seeking desperate embraces in the dark!
