We call this an internal dialogue, Yes, Yes we do

He strolls down the streets of London

Glaring at the neon

The wonderful neon

A reclusive extrovert locked in his own mind

 

Into a dreary cafe

He lurked

Eyes shooting over the room staring out at the people who occupy the corners

Corners, precious

These people with those eyes

Trapped inside their heads like a puppy in a cage

Being beaten daily with a barrage of vocal tortue

 

What would you say if you saw that in everyones eyes?

You'd go insane!

I already have

 

Anyway...

 

He bumbled past the tables

Hearing them whisper and glare

Orders a cup o' coffee

And sits

Alone on the floor

Staring at the world

 

Now remember the eyes?

 

Well do you?!

 

They've vanished like a light being pulled from the mains

Now it's dark

He smiles

Tapping his fingers on his cup

 

Tink...

Tink...

Tink...

Tink...

Fantastic. A truly amazing piece. Love the scale, it's well planned and flowed out gracefully. This poem kind of reminds myself. A very realistic, creepy and imagery poem. Incredible write here, love it so much. Thanks for sharing such a fascinating pice with readers.

P.S. While I'm reading this piece, my stomach is flipping up and down for coffee!

I adore this piece. It took me far too long to find it in my read requests, but I'm glad i did. There are a couple minor typos, but those would be almost immediately corrected by a quick skim. Overall, simply lovely.

Wow. Great

This reminds me a lot of Palahniuk's style, which is very good. I love the dark and slightly dry humor to it.
