Perforated
With laser beams of ennui
A stale lake-
Ideas floating like plankton,
The stratosphere’s searing embrace,
Droplets of frustration
Trickling down collective spines,
Sweat stained clothes
Patch-worked in fear,
Yellow under the armpits,
Brown around the necks,
Grimacing jaws,
Eyes shielded by plastic sunglasses,
Feet rushing for the 5 o’clock bus,
Sightless eyes,
Soundless ears,
Voiceless tongue, -
A generation, on the move?
