Gravy Train

I.

did you get
blind
        ed
by light
when the
gravy train
rolled
over
your bones
and let out
sickening snaps crackles
and pops
that
             those children
    listened to
                with
    mischievous
           malicious
grins on their
        soiled faces

II.

     you
wanted
     to break their
        faces
        necks
        spirits
     before they
       retaliated
       with another
          brutal assault
              on your
personal
                bubble
                of
   happiness
                or
   wealth
        as if you
           separated them
