Cliches
Like smoking moms and their babies
Like texting while he’s sleeping
Like rushing businessmen with nowhere to be,
Law non-abiding law enforcers,
Cracks on new concrete
I can’t keep winding around like this
On straight paths
With a pipe to my lips.
I can’t keep going with the traffic
With my jeans falling off
My protruding bones of my hips
Glancing at newspaper prints with a magnifying glass revealing hints
Distortion
Proportional disproportion
Boldness fading…
Like a balloon filled with void
Like writing on limitless lines
Like running in circles on a one-way road
Like catching your tail when it’s tucked in between your legs
Like downing another pill
Forging bills
Calling in ill on a holiday
