With giant ears floating through grapevines
bringing about misty eyed smiles
by vibrations collected
like dew drops on early A.M. grass

Gaping mouths with tongues like
muscular knives
drool an odd satisfaction when
lacerating hearts and puncturing backs

In the crowd, no one claps
as a red velvety curtain falls upon the
day
The performers retreat to their self-made cages,
heads filled with lies of tomorrow

The night comes and goes like a secret lover
Never staying long enough
Rudely awakened with eyes reddened for many reasons, they find themselves, yet again
