Kim Van Breda Poet Rhyme

Maggot Monotony

MAGGOT MONOTONY

on the precipice I survey
the sea of 
stores and casual faceless
crowds, I the  planet
lost in the tide
swarming with skulls
thrashing the facades
restless brows 

maggots infest the nucleus
until the centre shrieks
like a sheet in
the night, startled by
the intense glare that
neon signs cast 
upon blankness and
pointless vows

Timothy Hicks October 17, 2014 at 7:45 PM Is this written from the perspective of the moon? Do the people look like maggots from up there? You have me intrigued but you might have to further enlighten me... Oh planet lost in the tide :)
