  Radicals
In what world do we breath smoke?
                          Inhaling fire
lungs full of needles
                          the air is full of radicals
                                                     they say
                                              testing our exasperation
                                        our sighs
                                 so then why do they bustle fumes
                        into our chest?
               heaving polluted atoms upon our
vascular systems
            blood curdles for energy
                     For lights and machines
                           hazy red firmaments cower
                             over streets
                              with bustling motors
                               that feed on bones
                           in turn taking a piece of us
                     just to travel more quickly
                 to see longer
                  work faster
In what world do I feed on radicals for machines?
