Layers

Layers

Blur of coats
Colorful expectations
Alcohol? Drugs? Both?
Presumed plights
Stereotypes.

Detached hats
Fluttering hardship
Uncaring guilt lingers
Unabashedly timorous
Avoiding pretending

Indiscernible profanity
Unexpected slander
Shameless emotions affront
Moth-eaten plaid
Humanity
Ambivalent shirts loiter
Mingling, remembering
Food
Dollops of hope
Adorning cynical trays

Timeless jeans
Tattered experience
Nameless conversation
Influential artwork
Courage

Scraggly sneakers
Attract quiet eyes
Mumbled gratitude offsets
Upbeat arguments
Contagious laughter


Overwhelmingly ordinary
Apprehensively unreal.
