Day 23

theatre death lincoln,
ariana

helter skelter

drum beat downtown
smokey grey exhales
pink lips

bang
bomb
bullet

a knife blade wielding
we unyielding

thinking
or feeling

blind fate
crazy zealots

eyeless target
triggered by happy hearts

don’t know the why
or why not
or the how not to ever again

something in the water
a fluoride

a formaldehyde

stinking up the classroom

death strutting under neon
a slaughterhouse filled with golden arches

and million dollar colonoscopies

don’t mind the madness

limelight is turned on
now

fingers
point point point
