We Bleed Out

We Bleed Out By Sy Roth Unbroken string of invective-- The world deserves it. It blurs our memories. No need to sing its praises When it undoes us, Unties the laces that bind us And drops us off at a station Where work make us free Without a ticket. SSN and its variables cling to us And we blend into a miniscule world Where the spectacles on the hill of ash Watch us Follow us with its empty eyes As we bump along its hillocks And care only about the MPGs And not where it is taking us. We simply cover the miles until we run out of gas. Can’t parley with the atoms that collide into us. Neutrinos, faster than light, Zip by without respite And we fail to see it, Just sense it, A theoretical maze that confounds. All those particles that slice through And we do not know that we have been cut By a thousand blades Until we bleed out Soulless And nourish the ground.
