You were Once broken, & life-voided,
but no more where law exhibits now
an eternal space of things
enjambed by rose tint, as bliss kills
between breasts spray-painted over freeways
booting up that migrating horde
of humanoid citizens who sport metallic automatons.
Their shells crack paint-peeling exteriors
To reveal the essential metal of bone,
homo sapient skeletal
emulating odd rejects from antique T.V.
commercialization? Noid sits on faces
of real time, getting it all on camera
for the 5 p.m. “breaking news” intro
depicting strange freeway happenings
only mini-cam coverage captures
in sights & sounds of a ravaged city.
They’re blasting Metallica on satellite radio:
nearby the I-15 overpass an old house
(mildewing from neglect & crack games)
Depicts a mad butcher wielding samurai swords
Smoking a “HAPPY HOOKAH” pipe
while decapitating his various victims
via a terrible strength of immortal iron
into the pulp of unrecognizable body parts
severed from those last
bleeding hearts
