Blind
No form, no function
just self-induced destruction
blocked receptors unravel
observing the undeserved
a second serving
of an unfinished novel
page by page pulled into their quarters
there's not one getting away
the ticker streams across the screen
and I can hear their screams
or so it seems
the bought, the sold
real stories never told
those dished and displayed
taking silence to the grave
whispers I hear whispers
I reach into the frozen waters
washing with it the angst away
parched taste buds now tingle
unfortunately tomorrow's another day
