Poems and Prose #39 - Melt

Enemies, we,
   laugh, smile, and sing,
and fling ourselves
   willingly into debauchery.

The frazzled lightbulbs
   flicker dramatically,
amplifying the clarity
   of everything they see.

My partner and I
   proceed now with ease,
toward the sewer's
   fresh effluvia release,

nodding our noggins
   to the songs that we sing,
mere mimics of the lyrics
   of some bygone brand's breed.
