Walled in Wasteland

Here -

Where...booted thunder clatters into ticketed smoky backroom..

Where...padlocks protect broken fields from broken people..

Where...blank looks remain stubborn with old age..

Where...each step is guided by habit..

Where...angry shadows are nailed on to walled in wasteland..

is the place language comes to die.
