comatose corner
the tips of overworked, abused, filthy
fingers bleed;
smearing black ink across the page
dilluted by teardrops
raining down.
crimson, blotchy fingerpaint
raping college-ruled mediocrity
weeping words who finally,
upon clawing a path thru uncharted gray matter
have made their escape to the page

and i dont really feel this way

this ink, this blood, these teardrops
mean nothing to onlooking men
- innocents, simaritans, rubber-necking
jabbing their holier-than thou noses into my business
as i lie crumpled here
dying in my soul as
a martyr to

- what, exactly?
