Beat Down




He sputters out his despair
Like bits of broken teeth
The blood and bone of his life
Pooling between his feet

He sits on the curb
Of his possibilities
Runs his tongue along his lips
Then spits for a newer luck

Such chances of change
Are trapped in routine
His daily ramblings
Along a long familiar path

So what should he do now
Hold on or turn around
