Walter X takes off the blindfold
dyed red and finds eight men tied to wheelchairs,
friends only when you face them. Blindfolded as well,
they drum their fingers incessantly on the handlebars.
He runs to the next room lit only by emotion sanded
off the surface. Upstairs is filled with
water but you can breathe in it. The previous day,
his mind of metal buzzed to let him know it's time
for your pills the fake doctor said...climb out
of that box! Lying to plastic faces is an
over-the-counter sin. Last man standing
unfortunately gets to dictate how the next
generation fails. Decided it will remain that way.
One of the wheelchairs rolled over her picture,
cracking the frame. He looks down at it and
tells it the phrase kept for the end.
He's unable to two in quick succession cut him off at
the pass. Apathy grows faster when you water it
with your thoughts. Doesn't matter much then or now.
I still love you.
