Catching Flies

Catching Flies

 

The girl they call Tomorrow

Had already drawn fresh blood

Before I could reach her

 

Her yelling and her screaming

Served only to further un-nerve

The recently admitted

 

Whereas those who had been around forever

Continued as normal

Whatever that should mean

 

The compound heaved and swarmed

With moving shapes and figures

Like Walking Dead

 

Shoulders hunched mouths wide open catching flies

Those drug induced clenched jaws

Deny the hungry and deluded of coherent speech

 

Those eyes red, vacant, terrified and remote

Give no clue whatsoever to the cause

Of any individual or collective pain

 

Nevertheless the fact remains the girl

They call Tomorrow

Had drawn fresh blood again
