I stood on the contaminated ground Below a tower block sealed and barricaded In the North of Europe And watched nurses shackled into concrete Cannulate child soldiers with shaved heads And dress the wounds of mutilated boomers Across the chests of which was carved They. Had. It. Coming. I watched them arrive stumbling barefoot Their frail frames carrying dead credit cards I watched them arrive stumbling barefoot All pensions liquidated, cashed in and worthless I watched them arrive stumbling barefoot The family pet now the unseasoned Sunday meat I inhaled the rocks of what they once called Norway And kept walking.
A solitary street light framed above rooftops. The sun is setting giving the sky a dramatic fade upwards from orange to blue.
