Not Fit To Shine Shoes
Not Fit to Shine Shoes
By the time she took her chair in the gods,
Her singularity had brewed a certain solitude about her person.
Someone so chronically untouched
That the pixels of her skin were already turning to dust.
Once a man noticed her,
As she blended like cream in coffee
To the backround hustle-and-bustle of the room.
She felt his eyes
Crack marks into her like a map.
And she wondered,
What must a man see in feline stature
For the hem of his eyes to catch flames,
Like a reflection passing over a glass surface.
What marvelous intensity this is, of course,
The stars slurring
As she beats her heart like the humming.
But she was nothing but waste
And bleating restrictions of measurements.
This being to a dead soul decomposing on matted dreams.
O to be young again!
Beautiful girls,
Beautiful girls.....
