breaking the swarm

sitting at the bar, facing the labels

eating warm greasy chips

I could fingerprint the page

there is a game on

i doan care much about it

but I am watching it

splitting my attention with glances at the backs of the bottles in the mirror

keeping an eye out

for anything deadly going on behind me

there has been nothing of the such

everyone is breathing

I can tell by the broiling spittle on their upper lip

most of us have been staring down the buffoons all week

nose to the grind of the 21st century

but today I can barely feel its slippery fingertips at my neck-
