---

a circular buzzing sound of excess

wistful bodies surrounded by concrete

a pervasive pleasurable pain

the pangs of a creature polluted by light

soulless pillars, towering over me

I sink into lifeless obscurity

as electrics hum and shine

in the oppressive black, for which I resign

from demeaning, nauseating life

to dreaming, horrifying misery

ubiquitous animals rife with anxiety

medicate the symptoms, don’t disturb causality

fertile desolation, repetitive melancholy

lavishly detrimental, writhing insanity

a fleeting flash of city light

illuminates solemn faces

of the weary ones’ city plights

an un-nameable feeling evoked in me
