Nickel Blazing
What is your perception….?
…of the sad folks that are so starved for attention that they have to give themselves attention by reporting others?
Have these people choked The Bluebird to death?
How do you see them?
Lonely?
Scared?
Always leaving empty ice cube trays in the freezer?
Hollow laughter on a damp basement wall?
Do they look in the neighbor’s mailbox late at night?
One lousy slice of meat on their sandwich?
Boy Band posters hanging in the kitchen?
A pocket full of nickels with a desparate glare blazing on the slot machine screen?
Shopping at Wal-Mart late at night so nobody sees them?
Knuckle biters?
Dog beaters?
Cat killers?
Generic potato chip eaters?
Carpool cheaters?
Office gossipers?
Sword swallowers?
Tailgaters?
Weekend warriors?
Who the hell are these people?
They are the dweebs that couldn’t make the cut as hall monitors in high school…they come here to try and re-live the dream
