(G)listen for a second

Gurgling black water
Pours over my head as I
Wonder
Why
This
Happened
Powerless before it, I
Step out of the car and walk into the dollar store
As the neon lights penetrate my soul and bring to the surface those fears which I
Dare not confront in the daylight.
Steps on pavement, growing ever more muffled by the crowds in my head suffering pain and making it mine, too.
Blink
Flash
Ding!
Are you looking for something, miss?
