running with scissors
playing with knives
blunt trauma honesty
paper cut lies
paper kite heartstrings
pay per view eyes
razor wire smiles
in a state of denial

hive mentality
siding with apathy
whistle stop gallantry
little but pageantry
prised apart
tapestry
vital parts
atrophy
tribal scars marking
the tracks of abstracted catastrophe

reverting to type
when uncertain of why
purging earth bleeds
beneath virginal skies
whittling slack to a workable size
quick to cut back interpersonal ties
hurting for urgency
playing for time

running with scissors
playing with knives
blunt trauma honesty
paper cut lies
paper kite heartstrings
pay per view eyes
scissor kiss lips
belie razor wire smiles

making their way
to stand trial
(making their way

still in a state of denial
