Flaming Wreckage

​Walking through
a sea of emptiness
my heart beats feverishly
as I shake hands
with another failure
 
I scour the sewage
for an ounce of truth
but the crazed clouds
open fire
upon my head
 
Set fire to another
dumpster where the answers
lay barren
The reasons for persevering
are beyond me
 
Bland smiles find me
Eyes like voids
peer through the dark
Tendons like phony vessels
rip the truth from the sky
 
The flaming wreckage
of the edge
of life’s refugees
pulls me into a crater
The basis of rhetorical theories
 
brought me to life again
Scatological nothingness
A futile solution
Delusions make me feel
worthy of being
