red run faucets of backbones and noses
and necks
for make-believe one-hundred-million-cent paychecks
buildings building walls to keep the people out
battle lines drawn and drawing blood
is the most fun we'll have
tip-toe the hot-coal-catwalk
impress the audience with your spilling organs
on the floor
the wolves have been waiting to tear me apart
we spend our nights on the beach
we spend our nights fogging windows
and touching palms
and the water is polluted with used tires
driving away the others
but not us
and blue runs the internal structured highways
that lead to my heart
and the walls will be hardening
and closing for decades
until i don't hear the soundtrack
and i don't see the cameras zooming out
as i stand small against the setting
waiting for a bus
that isn't coming
