Doors closing, potentials shrinking, daylight fading


Doors closing, potentials shrinking, daylight fading, time wasting, excuses multiplying
Systems failing, cadavers stiffening, stores boarding, hopes dashing, futures constricting
Viruses spreading, costs increasing, wages reducing, species disappearing
Baby girl smiling up from food stamp shopping cart

Arms spending, rain dirtying, litter decaying, wounds infecting, fugitives harboring
Advertisers braying, cutbacks rippling, healthcare delaying, emissions ignoring
Beer refreshing, credit shrinking, rivers festering, literacy declining, frogs mutating
Santa Maria in a long skirt, pedaling slowly to hospice

Evil lurking, politicians smirking, bankers grasping, soils disintegrating, blogs croaking
Germs resisting, suburbs vivisecting, dream recurring, heaven awaiting
Studies denying, particulates hanging, entertainment stupefying, executives whining
Mountain trout darting in tiny, steep stream

Faults slipping, choices narrowing, paradigms shifting, bulldozers eviscerating
Cash hemorrhaging, hopes dashing, factories idling, teeth yellowing, ears ringing
Production contracting, jobs outsourcing, homes foreclosing, skies darkening
Apple tree blossoming in empty parking lot

Cattle slaughtering, cancers spreading, cosmetics hiding, results faking, meadows raping
Paint flaking, milk coagulating, lawyers siphoning, lobbyists bribing, budget trimming
Pupils dilating, scandal enveloping, profit taking, depression developing
Blackbirds gathering noisily in trees pushing out leaves

Analysts proclaiming, researchers probing, veils pulling, drapes drawing, curtains lowering
Scenes shifting, mud tracking, hidden seeking, riddles speaking, death cheating
Fairytales smashing, fish flashing, markets crashing, eyes casting, breaks taking
Old meth queen seeking toothless truck stop redemption

Breaths gasping, mines stripping, tails wagging, children begging, feet dragging
Souls losing, bills piling, credit drying, military muscling, signals mixing, whores enticing
Peasants liberating, senses straining, liberal bashing, tranquility trashing, shells raining
Safe reading in small warm light on rainy evening

Rejections automating, pilgrims seeking, preachers groping, nerds networking
Deficits mounting, hopes glimmering, research denigrating, soil eroding, pigs torturing
Music drifting, benefits cutting, retirement postponing, education rejecting, odor cloying
Small box turtle trying to cross busy road, all alone

Sunset amazing, thunder rippling, rainbow shimmering, distinction blurring, years hazing
Quiet shattering, knowledge smattering, reason fleeing, minds making, trouble brewing
Glimpses fleeting, shadows playing, echoes fading, memories remaining, life saving
Abandoned door creaking, opening and closing, only from wind
