Orange Washed Bridges

You carelessly chewed

through friends like gum -

dominance meld

with molars grind innocent -

and when hangouts were flavorless,

you spat out their bodies

into sticky situations.

.

You dramatically blew

into friends like tissue -

kept the few stained rags

who beared your forced sneezes -

and discarded the defiant

who didn't break

from your two-faced breeze.

.

You effortlessly drank

from friends like a cup -

pouring out insides

to the last drop, quenching

a leather, eager tongue -

and threw out the Styrofoam

into gasoline containers -

watch them melt and mingle

in flammable poison.

.

You threw this napalm

on the bridges of those closest

to your ways of crossing - those friends

willing to leap cliffs to strengthen

their ropes with you -

and drowned the sky dark.

.

The bridges washed orange

while you naively ambled,

unscathed from the unfriendly faces

of corpses with

burnt flesh frowns.
