Peering into the hectic nighta confusion of black and whiteintertwining in hatred.Blood red winesmeared across a loosened mouthlips slack and desperatefor a moment to record.A shimmer of rain graspsto the edge of a noserefusing to give up the endless strugglewe all assumewas surrendered long ago.Glimmers of nostalgia and pretensedance in the heaven-seeking glancesof those who see only starsand the shadowstorn by fading streetlamps.The intoxication of freedomand presumed independencefalls heavy on untried shouldersas the mighty minionsof the next big thingtake shotfollowing shotof forgetfulnesswith carelessly dancing eyessmiling stupidlyat the scattering of ill-placed starsand fading streetlamps.
