a strange coincidence
by: gaiyaiobi xzandis-zaevan
slowly, the sun rises
like the heads and eyes of
the weary ones
awaiting their peace as
they stand for death from
sitting for so long.
the sun shines
like an enlightened thought
in a peach & purple sky
becoming azure. unappreciated.
people are driving anxiously
to a profession they despise
with fiendish eyes
small wars, big efforts
hmph
road rage imminent.
the parked car
on side of the road
just at the exit to the
Outer Beltway
Vrooms! whistling vehicles
changing, cutting lanes
some people are jogging,
others talking & blogging
in a nearby cafe
this is a nice neighborhood see?
who are those people
right there, sleeping
in their cars? a panic ensues
people are surrounding the
car with fierce eyes, ice haste
police & helicopters follow then
the media. whoa. nobody noticed
her.
the white hair. pure chocolate skin.
black dress & a dozen black flowers
falling from her lap onto
the ground as
she leaves the car
walking in the midst
no one noticed
her
or him; his dead body
resting in the drivers’ seat
with blood soaked shirt
and a blade stuck in his throat.
the homeless couple snatched
from their vehicle
people are offended, screaming
kill them! jail them!
she walks through the madness
manages to shove 2K in
the homeless woman’s pocket
as she is shoved in back of
the squad car. her. she
winks at a cop. he smiles.
she walks on. no one notices
her,
her victim
or her driving away.
