Disturbia

Rips the body a new one

Formatted for euphoria

Inhaled so the body meet floor

Aspartame sweet

The back of the throat it seeps

Cut, jived, contaminated

Click

The ringing pitch of a cathode ray and the fuzz of the big bang fade

Click

A lighter sparks, engulfing air into a yellow light that burns floating dust, crackling paper and tobacco as its pulled and pushed.

Click

The flood lights turn on, set off by vermin conquering the alley

Click

The doors of a car lock in unison, red light blinking periodically

Click

A steel hammer is cocked backwards, potential energy building with the heart rate of its master

Click

The sound a heel makes as its pace picks up, its tempo beating as sweat forms on the brow

Click

The sound of a light switch being flipped, allowing the streetlights to gently fill the room through a haze of smoke, all outside is visible

Click

The flip cock reads 4:28, it being the only sound making it the most noticeble

Click

The repetitive clacking of the #310 train starting it's morning route downtown, slowly inching through backyards on elevated tracks.

BANG

A gunshot cracks across the sky. All falls silent, everything and anything hesitant and frozen in fear, until the next sound is made...

Click

A receiver is picked up, dial tone awaiting input

Click

The call picks up.

"It's done", she said, hanging up and flipping her phone shut

drank bacardi and squirt on the bridge but hadn’t eaten in a while so that shit hit and my ass couldn’t sit without spinning, so i walked home from dt

never worth it, only in the moment
