WORDS BY EVANGELIA KARAGEORGOS.

AN HOMAGE TO TIPTOE BY ANI DIFRANCO

Tiptoeing down Gouger street
in a post-apocalyptic city
its population conspicuous
by its absence.
Like a dinosaur basking in the meteor
I wonder the empty city streets,
abandoned, traumatised,
cracked concrete and vacant seats.
Isolation lockdown day 31,
destruction or precaution,
chosen or enforced,
isolation for the masses
to help us fight this war.
My highjacked life
wearing holes in my jeans,
so I go home to drink.
I try to fill the emptiness with rum,
drowning the darkness,
till the daylight comes.
