This Year Or Next?

Down from here
doesn't tickle

only sucks
licking sidewalks

world worn
around the ankles

tasting dried gum
smashed over cracks

raw tongue
searching for vitamins

crawling
directionless

smelling ashes
still falling

bombs made in garages
rent for a buck

everyone is a terrorist
when there's no food.


Bio:
Stephen Jarrell Williams believes there's always hope even while playing in the jaws of doom.
