Description
Suicide pedestrians playing chicken with cognitive dissonance
Requisitioning a new pair of blues for the long dead walking
Piddle peddling through congested subway stations
Stare tuned in to the true romance
Misappropriation of fun hard won now running to the sound
Of anyone talking
Serrated frozen flowers for an hour that might dance
Still they turn their hallelujahs from ya
Kicking the offering plates away like Pele
About to blow
How could ear bud guy and decrepit pulp novel queen know?
How could three kids playing try to keep your balance as it slows by running know?
How could too damn many carry on bags for a subway car much less a cabin compartment commuter even care?
The old purple nosed couple going home from a good day at the track
Or
The soldier going anywhere else on his first day back home from Iraq
And his friends who’d decided to play it safe
How could any of them know?
That they’d all gone as far as they were ever going to go?
