An unattended child was left on a bus somewhere,
pretty sure that child had a scare.
Twenty-one minutes alone ...

Allow me to Lift the Curtain

...Right up until you were honest 
I found hope in the regressing of your sentences 
From fine wine to a poisoned chalice 
Remembering you in the corner of the grocery store

Marginalized middle finger people
moving upwardly mobile
on a quality-of-life escalator going always down

Mall pallbearers for the palladium pocketeers,
(them who bring forth weekly ...

A Night In Somnia
