45*21

Demons enter and sometimes take over
eating at every diner
nihilistic hedonism
not so pretty, but you know
is what not so
sat there watching
Hold onto you wallet mind
ogling the center
put off the outer
pulling and tugging at it
eating away the edges
reality keeps passing
Light keeps things interesting
it lives and within
vital energy is posed
each of us human
sacrificed by our own hand
Invigorated by steam
not always caring
used up
so there is always time to laugh
