The thin grey fog

Red on the pavement outside the pizzeria.
That's an obscenity!

What minds so decadent,
So depraved,
They choose to paint in blood?

What crazy bitterness.

I will not hate.
I will stay numb.
I will not acknowledge the feeling inside me.
Instead, I choose
The thin grey fog
And a shared misery.
