Depression In D Minor Poem by Kyle Schlicher

desolation
behind
sunglasses

city sidewalk
alive
and
singing
in blinking
neon
madness

outside
small conversation
is the topic
among
strangers

taxi's to nowhere
gaining speed

on the pavement
timid truth
gives way
to
the
darkness

no one looks up
the danger
is
below
down
inside

loneliness
smelling
like
stinking sewers
hangs
upon
the night
and
colors
the mood.

one day
is
like
any other to some
to
others
the end
can't
come
soon enough
