dead link

stumbling and tumbling through a skating rink
in a dream.

my roller skate wheels were made from the eyes
of every person i've ever let feel
me.

they were bleeding.
they were bloody.

i followed a dead link which led me to a page of nothing.
i stood on a stage huffing and puffing.

i became the big bad wolf. i huffed, i puffed, and i blew
this glass house of cards down. the roof flew
hard to the ground.

there were aces, hearts, spades, diamonds, and clubs
scattered all around. they were everywhere.

i somehow forgot to care.

instead we simply stood there with arms crossed
looking scared and lost.
