The Outworn

 His face was punk rock
Pale with reds and subtle acne
orange yellow hair slightly oily
gritted teeth for the outside world

Rush and restlessness through the busy street
A look of purpose making his eyes and nose line up
like a sight on a rifle his eyes the barrel
Music and screaming filled the narrow street

He ran to the alley in quick moderate strides
That smoothly flowed into movement
He almost achieved a sneer just for show
Then with his own facial control gave up on it

He was nothing more than a piece of the city
An organic machine delivering people's parcels
He lived on the noise, movement sense of rush
Trash littered lanes his favorite race tracks

In not longer than a decade his sense of self loses relevance
His speed and frenetic pace delivering parcels meaningless
That feeling of purpose in movement dying
He says- God I know is a destroyer of identities
