Helplessly (Hands On Temples); Screaming?

When we were younger
and we were freer.

We are long-scapes
of shame.

Landscapes
of insanity.

Concrete tomorrows
that wait for steadfastness.
(We wait together
shoulder to shoulder
waiting for morning
light)

We feel the sun  as when it swims
into our eyes,

call me

and we'll empty ourselves
onto the city's streets,
onto its goddamned sidewalks.

Don't forget
that we should be
shame,
we should be horrified
by our indifference,
we should be
Terrified.



*I wrote this with the last word, "terrified", being italicized originally, but I couldn't figure out a way of doing the same on Loveblender, so I left it as is.
