Like a Knife
January 13, 2009
You screech, you giggle;
sour perfume soaks into walls
to cover some unidentifiable
disease that afflicts
thousands.
I assure myself that,
to you,
life leaves cardboard residue
and the winged creatures residing
in your mind
are faded or frayed.
Yet I cannot contain my envy,
for jagged words and swaying
demand attention, and leave me
silent
sitting
frozen in simplicity.
