Dark
blind to,
the civilized cruel
clown-painted boys,
sneaking out of front
windows,
in order to
smoke joints,
in front of Main Street's closed
businesses,
down alleys,
they spray paint
on unlit walls:
Vacume Cleaners Suck.
Scribbled-totems of their
whittled out
lives.
The boys crawl back
in bed before the
extraterrestrial
suns ascends.
They hide under
comforters,
from
real Vampires
allergic to
Night
and
Fun.
*The arrangement of dark and light utilized in a pictorial representation.
I attempted here to do a poem contrasting dark and light, thinking back on the days when a boy embraces the privacy offered in the night.
