Behind The Facade
Fag breaks out the back,
By overflowing bins.
In those stifling, litter strewn
Rat-runs, never seen by the
Nice folk:
The punters.

Deep
In your guts.
Your lifeblood seeping
Onto the cold,
Soiled pavement.
You lie, eviscerated, gurgling.
Helpless as a newborn.
What?
I don't hate you.
I don't even know you.
Or your mum.
Your brothers and sisters
Or any...
