Speed Limits

the empty room. louder than ever. the chaos concealing nothing. the conceit of loyalty. all splinters and stitches. a detour of frailties. circumventing puzzles. the inertia of cost.

life in puddles collecting. the foul labor of indifferent storms. the echo of spent kingdoms. still weighing the loss.

humble. the mangled skeletons confessing. the end of the world wearing slacks. like it never shits.

spending zippers like currency. odd change. the simmering filth.

the vomit on the corner. the piss on the edge. finding us too easily. in the certainty of want.

clarity like heroin.
