Concession stand

Falling back is our advance.

Running scared our only chance.

Look around, but never down -

We're cut off at the knees.

Moving up to take the place -

where others fell before us.

The other guys comes from behind.

Surrounded on all sides.

Never fear the fear itself.

Complacencies the killer.

Lay to waste what once was saved -

A silence faintly screaming.

Smell the breath of happenstance.

Brave the crush of failure.

Kept these eyes for sacrifice.

Touch. But have no feeling.
