(Poem) One in The Same

One in The Same
---------------
Jeremy Hucklow - 2016


I walked through the desolate town
I had seen a girl in an alley covered in blood
She had a saddening frown
She had a distorted upper face
Who made her looks an awful disgrace?
"What is wrong, my dear?"
"I have walked through this desolate town and have seen no pity"
"Then move to a thriving city."
She picked up her doll, covered in blood and went on her way
She had an awful long walk ahead; no buses or taxis for to have a fare to pay
I followed her down each street
My God, there was so much meat
I was in an utterly shocked fright
No more, no less, it should be sanctified for being such a mess
"Little girl, what is your name?"
"Only those of minds with confusion will know me"
We walked further
To the edge of town did we hither
There was sun in the town but complete darkness on the edge
"Why is this?" I so dared asked her
"The town is confused."
I myself was lost in confusion
"Then child, what is that darkness?"
For the longest time she had paused
Could this be what she caused?
"Dear child, is this what you did?"
For Christ fucking sakes; she's just a child
She looked up at me and smiled
"No, we both caused this. We are one in the same"
"How could that be?"
She walked through the darkness and made it glow
So, I had to follow
I heard many persisting screams and cries
And all these visions of my lies
"Where are we now, young one?"
"Your life"
Who could she possibly be?
She ran up ahead in a hurrying flee
To a house with a sound of a loud buzzing bee; my house
The noise was very irritating
I walked through the door
In a drunken stupor
I walked straight ahead to the kitchen
And saw the girl and a woman
Both hung from the ceiling fan; spinning slowly
Recognizable; ostensible
They both turned to me
"WE'RE ONE IN THE SAME!!! WE ARE WHO YOU ALWAYS BLAME!!!"
