 everyone I know is dying

But somehow we forget to do it together

The wet earth 

And the cold street

remind us of nothing

As we drive by

And listen to the radio

Drink our coffee

Go nowhere on time

 

I dont know how much longer I can go on

Pretending not to feel

See

Taste

And hear

All of These…

 

Panting dogs

whos ribs stretch skin

on dry beds

of dust 

 

Medicated

childrens

eyes

 

Old woman

searching desperatly

for eye contact

 

Leaky faucets

Plugged drains

 

Dreamless soul parades

Soft with empty defeat

 

The last tree

Before the desert

 

You
