Stranded

Transcribed in the Southern USA.

In the aftermarket aftermath

We say good night.

We wish the best blight.

Wonder what’s been bought.

 

Who’s been oppressed.

Who has given their life.

While eyes stare.

While stairs eye.

 

A body trips.

It could be any body.

It could be within a finger

Pressing downward into plastic.

 

More shot on the news.

More corrective lenses.

More dips of the republic.

The bodies stand alone.
