Father

Senile and drunk rambling to himself
An old man drags his baggage up and down the steps
Waiting on the platform for a train to take him nowhere
A 30 yr old eating Popeyes out of the garbage
Hate and embarrassment stream from his eyes
In fluid poison a flood of emotion
Fatherless sons lost together, 
Alone in their misery 
Biological need, psychological greed
Environmental seeds
Which was the cause? 
Looking for nourishment in the bottom of a bottle, the bottom of the rubbish
Where's the clause?
Stains dripping from a bleeding sole
No amount of therapy will heel
Anger fills the bright potential
Walking aimlessly in your own thoughts
Asking your ego for directions
A lost child opening and closing doors
Searching for his mother's embrace
In empty museums
Displaying rows of mirrors stained with misuse over the years
Where and tear
He breaks
Down 
Into
Despair
