Messy
Smoke escapes from simple lips
Joints move mechanically to beating hearts
And elaborate flashing lights, bolted to innocent hips.
Polish us sterile. All of our parts.
Rain falls to clean, but only rust appears.
Showers mixed in polluted smog power through.
Acid rain, to softly wipe away fears.
The fear of what we’ve seen from our view.
Looking down, we see our mess
Swells of steel scattered deep in judgment
This town can scarcely inhale our progress.
Yes it was an accident.
But this is our crime scene,
The mess off man and machine.
