Touch-Monday

My eyes are sorely touched with the harsh flash of puce and pink-red exhaust fumes leak lazy from the line of matchbox cars clogging humanities sewers lungs gasp at green tires lay rubber like the wail of infants taken from tit dangling arms wave the air seeking entrance to the already well come fill’d shunt sighing rubbing my lids lights strobe just past the seared surfaces of my bruised retinas my feet throb swollen now depressing releasing pedal push. One may be "Touched" in physically, mentally or spiritually. Poet: Debbie Guzzi

Good luck in the contest. I just listed free verse cause this ole boy didn't know what to call it. I must be "touched" as those rednecks say. Vince
