Class Assignment

We are a species afflicted.
Diseased with melancholera,
We race to the nearest shopping mall
For a quick fix and a neon high.

It's Vegas in your hand,
It's sex and wealth and access,
It's watching the world get undressed
And for a second, you feel it all.

A second,
And it's gone.

Back to the shroud of numb.

Written October 2011. Alaina Perez.
