BLEACHERS CONFIDENTIAL
loose narrative that hits speed on torn diary’s pages /
I should have known better /
than to wear a brittle smile to meet the standards /
a pristine field for the wicked all cut from the same cloth /
buzzing with nerves and anticipation /
here’s to a vacant fate /
stubborn grudge has suddenly flooded /
the deed is done /
