-jason Q public,
-sat on the floor
-in his apartment....
-apartment 13-f...
-contemplating
-the tapping
-of eight tireless feet....
-contemplating
-the young
-lady next door....
-who lived
-even closer
-to the origin
-of the tapping....
-contemplating
-the sickly-sweet
-of the cola
-he clutched
-so tightly in hand....
-contemplating
-an axis of evil...
-a tangle lies...
-genetic modifications to fruit...
-the failing education system...
-the fact that his fellow man seemed not to care....
-the truth his parents forgot to tell him..
-how he had begun to notice the television staring at him....
-the rising cost of gasoline....
-the dandruff gathering against his scalp....
-the strained look in the eyes of his fellow americans....
-the possibilities of not retiring until dead....
-the stain on his blue jeans....
-the filing of his taxes.....
-were the bath towels white enough?
-the fact that he will never witness a world at peace...
-the sheer futility in even daring to think it an option...
-the checking of his email....
-how it seemed any political body would be subject to perversion...
-the woman he should have married...
-the bill he forgot to pay...
-how he missed the sky watercolored blue....
-the slight pinching of the gas mask
-they now had to wear
-all the time.....
-the cancer glow
-when the bomb went off....
-and the choking beauty
-that had been it's halo...
-how the mushroom-cloud bloomed out like a rose....
-the long work day behind him....
-the short free afternoon ahead
-the sound the routine makes
-as it scrapes out your sanity
-and replaces it fondly with madness....
-how nuclear fall-out painted
-the world in nictitating membranes of green
-and how
-it was gonna take him
-a little while
-to get use
-to green's odd
-radiance....
