over the next twenty-four hours
the jungle will have many...

 littered with a thousand twisted cigarette butts,
 the scattered smouldering tombstones of last night's drunken dreams.

Seven minutes was all it took that dark night
Like a freshman, a little short of reason,
I had no clue what the future held in sight.

Pinstripe assassins, 
That stride; self satisfied, 
The world is theirs, 
To do as they wish.
