XMAS DAY, LATE PM

walking the silent street

xmas day

i need clean air

need to look about out here

tiny lights and lamps and blue tvs are glowing

out 

from 

rich thick dark velvet curtains and gaps in drawn tight blinds

all generations celebrate waving their arms at glowing blue tvs/new Nintendo

     

and 

old angels shine again

pinned to black hedges 

and 

the 

few 

stars showing

are trivial

still shine above the low gloom

i am smoking a real cigarette

but 

it’s dampened by the dark/i dont enjoy it/not today

so fucking dark out here

dark like the end of the world/dark as the end of everything

dark

as the end
