Surreal little drabble poem.

Neon Lights bleed around me, drip down my ankles

Like an overly-needed thunderstorm.

Lie with me won't you, in these ghostly lights?

.

There are beds underneath the arcs of white,

Black beds encircled by red dots because we are watched

In all we do and dream.

.

For one night, let us feed the machine.

Let us lie inside the slow-burning fire of this dystopia

And nourish the heart of the monster.

.

Tonight we will burn into purple vapors.

We will dance on the wobbling lines of an archived recording

And we will finally become our very own worst nightmare.
