Surrounding Those Who've Left

Concession stands fill the street
Sweet Toxic Stench of
Lurking poor man’s sweat.
Defining one’s meaning
Sweet Toxic Stench of
Wandering eyes of merchant sailors.
Controlling the species of lions
Sweet Toxic Stench of
Two sided tape,
Pulling us apart.
Couples holding hands tightly
Sweet Toxic Stench of
Mascara running down eyes,
Closing all our gaps of life.
