Down Escalator

Mildew and ash shrouds the firefly stars
Winking in exasperation, they nod

Bright remnants burn into brain tissue
Maggots and memories tunneling through psyche

Veins, delivery system on right-now
Skeletal butterflies dip in stomachy lubricants

Fifty caliber casings of laughter collect in the well
Swelling sponge heart is squeezed through the eyes

No more decisions, gravity, an origin 
Fast forward to the life expectancy 

Bang, hand grenade concrete, societal casualty
