Crocodile
Prize-winning
Death gas manufacturer
Day old rainfall
Muddying the paving stones
With rainbow fumes
Exhausting stays in hospital bay
Wings charred after accidents
Taken home and loved regardless
Body part jigsaws on aerial scales
Weighed with media justice
Open grave photoshoot
Someone else’s child
From another world
Hasn’t been seen since last night
Pretend tears like a crocodile
Under the streets
In sewer streams hidden
Beside concrete dreams
Graffiti poetry
Scrawled on homeless houses
Washed clean
Slick white and surgical
Procedures correcting the city
Life
Words on brain, brain
On tracks
As I step in front of the train.
