LEAKY GOGGLES

POEM — COLOR PROMPT #10

🎵: “Verususa” by Dwyer

What is life without light — but a grave?

Fix your goggles, good man, the lighthouses are
frozen.
The lifeboats are gone.

Society has castrated your eye-balls with an
ice-cream scoop, serving up ozone-depleting,
chocolate-dipped shit to legions of milky-eyed
children
masquerading in their finest, invisible
grown-up garments,
frolicking in charred darkness believing it day

In the end, this world's greedy beloved will
sob
and cry furiously unto THEE, in grand irony:

You devoured the nutty rocky-road with glee.
You killed us. . . .

as the copper-red curtain of dusk
begins to set to glacial black, and quasi-tragically,
our titanic planet merrily, merrily sloshes down
humanity

Soak in every sun-ray and RGB you can find, kids.
