Snapshots Of The Living: A Different Angle
A Poem by Matthew Bass
True beauty: Tiny pixels of ugliness surrounded by collages of true ugliness It´s afternoon hidden by street lights and the look of death when nothing is diffferent from before. Everyone is tired from apathy and newly forgotten vows. Still I suffer through the mud puddles of petty misery. Psuedo fires line the streets twisting up and down and old hill on cobblestones beaten by the feet of animals with purple eyelids, and they point like lasers through holes between their toes. And there is s**t from dogs, artists, and babies; smeared like colorfields in the rain. The skin ripped off the bone of my fingernails drags and bleeds against the edges of concrete sinkholes that collapse like sand. The Police:Figments of my imagination chase me for breaking all the windows in the warehouse for the sake of breaking all the windows in the factory, pushing old ladies down the street because of the sound they make when they fall, and telling everyone to F**k Off! with a tongue that was cut out by my parents when I was three. As the rain trickles seeping through the remains of tattered blue Chuck Taylor´s oblivious to the trenchfoot slowing me down in the sick maze of the half-dead not-alive who drag themselves to something they hate now that the party is over with nothing to look forward to. - January 2nd 2___.
