Drought



Yes, it is..
  the world is full
   of ugly people and bad ideas
    so thick, you can't help
 breathe them in.
 
    They do stick
to you like
 dogshit on a bouncy house
    (i know)

It's covered in broken furniture,
 stained carpets 
     and overhead lights
that flicker and buzz
    
....that smell? 
 

   Feel it stick to your
           skin,
 that greasy layer
  clogging your pores.

           < *>
 
         far off,  it's 
       raining a good 
       hard pour
       cleaning up the 
      stale stank  from  every 
      crack and gutter
     
      Why not down our
      necks
      cooling off our eyes
      sweetening our throats
     until we can look 
        each other in 
        the face again 
     and kiss like 
          as if
    we'd never kissed
     anyone else?
