Debate

Competing for satisfaction they clash
Like slithering snakes that strike at the small
Words slice the air

Hands signal wildly

Suffocating one another until there is nothing else to say

Building bridges leading to nowhere
These exchanges are meant to break the concrete barriers
Blow after blow is given
They fold

We return to the ebb and flow
Mouths close and the lull commences
Eyes behold the static gray
We sleep again
