Subliminal Messages

by Howard F Farewell

What’s that smell?
Is someone cooking?

: in the backyard the screaming anguish of souls
are slowly dying amongst the fires of the day

When’s daddy coming home?
Soon I told you 3 times already!!

: a child searching for love
a mother searching for life

How’d you do on the test today?
I dunno hopefully good you?

: a soul dying under the suffocation of
high expectations

Spare change sir?
::silence ::

: hope of another day gone by
another day things will get better

Who is he?
I dunno he doesn’t talk to a lot of people.

: he’s already got it planned out
a week from tomorrow…

I think she’s the one
Wow! Your serious aren’t you?

: she’s been screwing around
…with the guy he just told

Fuck ‘em all! They can’t see what I do.
So get rid of ‘em

: insane?
He cleanses the evil tomorrow

Hey I just don’t want to see you like that.
Just remember I’m here for you.

: his heart tearing apart
as he can’t tell her…
