PATHETICALLY INCORRECT



as i alight from my wheeled cage, a deep breath ensued
filth, toxic, disease, stigma, prejudice befriended my lungs
hopelessness, restlessness, fatique, submissions burnt my retinas
I lit my Dunhill, tagging cancer to the bandits
dragged long enough to numb the damage

i swaggered to the soul portal, coffee to the mouth, ignorance to the gutter
pen parallel to emotions, evoking thoughts, ignored pedestrian thoughts
dirt, cum, thirst, lust,kissed my lips as i took a sip
coffee devoured
soon an observer's filth
history stained glass

another rich luxurious smoke dragged its way to my lungs
sympathy filled the trees on my lap
maddening ink coloured the filth free trees
paused, dumbstruck, traffic to thoughts

a plight from a little girl's eyes
hugging me tightly
whispering
liberation,
freedom,
cry for a chance
migration

"there is nothing i could do to help you or the wolves"

sex currencies flew about
mannequin faced flesh catching the cash of life
eyes watered
notebook, pen, conscience, pity, teardrops
in the bag
left behind
the little girl
and my prayers

" A gift from the Senator" on the tin foil cabinet at the stall torched my heart
as i sighed at the teamwork they had opening human flesh for business.

I like your writing style...Have you ever read Cellophane By Mac Wellman? I am not much of a writer but as a visual artist, after reading his work, I am convinced that he is "the man" haha

Nevine,
Thank you so much! I was so sad i need to write about her. I often go to dingy places looking for ideas, nowadays.

Hope Chella,
Thank you for the compliments:)
Am i not wrong in saying Mac Wellman is into playwright and plays? I've never read Cellophane i'm reading about him in Google now. Interesting..thanks for sharing:)

He is. I like him so much because before reading him, I never realized that writer's could be as FREE as say, painters like myself. I imagine him as the Jackson Pollock of playwrights...
