The Crowds Wept With You

The memory is clear:
   you lit New York City
with just a single tear
 and the crowds wept with you
as did the world ~ i slept
late and missed it all
but the tweets and MSM 
fell for you & me: Hair.
Teeth.  Lips and tongue are
silently slip'in into dusty 
newness |tears for our 
obsolete smiles\Before cosmic
industry laid my bones & 
flesh i have thought of you
somewhat too + scientific
wizardry began the gradual
stir of a forgotten muscle,
and you Screamed: "AWAKEN!
AWAKEN!  You beast of half-
breed!"
     (a focal point for hatred
right?)
        But we forgive, we 
forgive those diseased with
HYSTERICAL FRIGHT

an enigma squirming within
  humanity's MIND!
