Large Hot

Conscious Coward

Morning rush

Faces pass

Faces smash.

Predator fade-

Hidden among-

Order after order

Eyes gleam

Hungry for more

Than just bread

And egg.

Thirsty for more

Than large hot

Same order,

Different day

Same time,

Different mind.

Words said

Brush skin

Leave mark

Filth residue

"Lose the pants,

It'd look better" —

Results in skirt adjus

tCrimson cheek

Color of blood

On wolf teeth.

Toss bag

In distraction hope

Eye meets eye —

Old brown iris

Stares into young blue.

Food taken

With a smile,

Licked teeth in wait

Of next meal.

Shudder

Head to foot-

Push back

Trash of mind

At least until

Next large hot

Large leer

Another jeer

Winking iris.
