untitled
by Aldo Tambellinialdo Tambellini

city of human hearts sealed in busted tin cans
city of legally certified moneylenders assassins
city of sheep herds grazing on fields of needles
city of percolating dreams sipped in hollow coffee cups
city of urinating blood rivers flowing into sewers
city of cannibalistic lords plagued with insatiable hunger
city of overmedicated somnambulist pedestrians
city of giant concrete caskets rising for office space
city of parking lots with naked breasted facades
city of menstruating hyenas in heat scavenging for desires
city of diamond paved streets mined by amputated slaves
city of zombies inoculated with precautious dementia
city of sobbing alligators regurgitating human flesh
city of neon rattlesnakes flashing above mega stores
city of war camps occupied by exterminating army of compassion

CITY WITHIN CITY
INSIDE CITY
SWALLOWING PEOPLE
