Hope
You held me spellbound
freshness
not of plastic concocted standardized perfection
your smiles in my direction were
of courtesy
civility
and cultured background
I tried to touch you but you needed everyone
those surly ugly butchers of your beauty
oblivious to you
they thundered over you
leaving hoofprints on me
ripping and agonizing torture
I tried to heal
you pushed me roughly aside
but you knew
didn’t you?
