MENTAL STRAIN

Mental strain.
Human stain.
Liquid, brain matter.

Mashed, gnarled, mangled --
word splatter.
Mindless cattle gather,
 
and graze
upon a medley of scraps
broken up into the ominous clouds

of a storm filled sky.
Bullets of rain
pelt the pavement,

scarring the surface with pock marks.
Not a soul to be found.
Not a kindred spirit around.

Retreat to an unseen underground;
with silence, (...)
the only detectable sound.
