Smiley (Against the Curbs)

By LovelyUndead

In the mirror

Scowling

A monster with teeth like souls

Sharp and jagged

And a tongue soft as the bed you lie on

And the lie you softened against me

Protection is cheap

Cheaply made in China

And sold at a discount in America

14 trillion reasons

Only 1 meaningful vote

Together we will make the difference

Tomorrow

Devoured by our appetites

An appetite that devours all eyes

Straws for sucking out retinas

New invention

New intention

New inflection

New infection

Affect, effect youth

Youth with grinning smilies

Against the curbs of your city

Split open like a freshly sliced piece of

Humanity…

For those of you who don't know what a smiley is, it's when you take an unconscious person and put their mouth on the curb, then stomp on the back of their head.

    You must have used quotation marks or something because your author's comments stopped mid-sentence. I liked this and believe the 14 trillion maybe our Gross National Product? Very political from an economic / consumer standpoint; but I could be wrong, thanks.
