another world
images talk caption less
the music tries to offset the atmosphere
remnants of a dying past
stand side by side
with signs of the new world.
bodies lean in order to sleep
those who share blood with a thief
keep alert
eye open assessing environment.
halogen hums
overpower happy eighties
everything passed on to the consumer
they carry the weight
but still opt in to purchase.
convenient distractions
keep the populace at bay
every one stakes their claim
to a part of a room
and all we do is wait
watch tv and wait
listen to music and wait
charge devices and wait
avoid eye contact and wait
until the wheels roll in
and take us to another place
where we will wait for something else.
