Like sabers edge sinking deeply
withinVerbs, nouns, pronouns
all incise ragged wounds
twisting, turning, speeding
through flesh of perception.
Mouths open,
expelling darted syllables
words of weapons choice:
slash,
gash,
lacerate
agonizing naïve contemplations
of reasons
of another
Capitulate!!
As random aggressions are sharpening blades.
Shields not withstanding tormentor’s attack.
Let wounds flow devoid of pain.
Blood washes venomous tongue.
In a near-future Baltimore, an unemployed bipolar journalist and a teenage hacker are the last hope for a dystopian world controlled by a giant media corporation.
