THE LEFTOVERS
We all do disappear eventually except not
en masse unless in mass exterminations
Generally we are orphaned one-by-one Some
look up & see stars others flashlights While
others still see hunger Everywhere Soon tiny
mouths in the black sky will begin to eat us
The other night at the Music Hall: greying crowd
emerging into the dark night (after spending much
of the concert peeing) looking around with starving
eyes at other 50 somethings stumbling into the light
*(read between the eyes their pasts are seeping through
the cracks) While the dead leave us hungry with mouths
full of questions
