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…

Author's Note:
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.Comments on "Smiley (Against the Curbs)"

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.
