Confessions of a synical boy at age 19

Screen flickers

a flock

of seagulls pass

over garage rooftops

giant and medium-sized automobiles

strike still poses

dead forty-something times from

carbon monoxide poisoning

and their chamber: noiseless roomscapes

never driven

only driven to near extinction

by icy roads,

calm winds,

maniacal passengers rocking heads to Duke Ellington.



In the drop of a nickel

steel plated parts detach and retract

and school subjects enter and exit youthful minds.

The entire situation causes us to

remain

unchanged

we read for decades until death.



Fast food enters slow thoughts.

Fast roads lead to a slow demise.
