Shatterd by by bullets; shiny glass facades
Shitty coffee poured in
environment-friendly cups.
Sports cars on crumbling asphalt
And, high-end brands walking in a seiged air

A neoliberal dream
A neoliberal lie
Luxury is what it seems
Peripherals are where everything dies
.. . . . . . . o . . O . . . O
Margins are where everything is born
After when,
wishes are torn
But the only real happening is
a thrown stone.

Every time it
Hits
a combat helmet
A poppy
grows
Every time it
bangs
a watch tower
An Olive Grove
Blooms
Every time it
shatters
a corporate
window
A cactus fruit
Mellows
