not finished
In this fashion of oppression
we fly, backwards, like
a frozen page stuck to the ground
sticking like fingers,
the wind has at its last grasp.
Up against the mirrors
we dress and act like we ride
on attractive gleaming rails,
a perpetual side story of confusion.
Crawling with our eyes,
sliding scale tipped,
making someone think its monument
is indeed the larger picture.
Balanced, we'd think of monuments no more.
Not in their glory,
not bathed in importance by
setting fire to the horizons.
We're not here to marvel at things,
and make them more important
than we.
Faucets drip
un-natural thoughts,
recycled situations,
recycled saliva.
First, we shook the clear dew,
molding droplets from our skin.
Now many social lacerations
swept us from within.
Clear dew,
no longer present.
Grease and oil
took to us, the machines.
We go on gleaming rails,
we go on crawling eyes,
we go until,
we're gone.
