Little Boxes and Google Maps

The night vanishes like wounds, but nothing heals;
the poor walk like bruises.
The surprise diminishes like an echo,
races like an airship,
and beams pictures
like the googlemap
of those little boxes
where we struggle to arrive.

Right on target, Debs. "the poor walk like bruises" is such a powerful and poignant image that leaves a lasting impression. Also "The surprise diminishes like an echo", like a continuous news-reel, in fact. ???line 3???. Thanks for your fab encouragement on Rivermouth! xx
