overpriced loose ends

A loosly slung string
sways slightly at the eyes of the passing by light bulb.
Who sinks into sand capped human dug holes,
ground covered mesquito bites,
a laughter's stuggle.
Come down and sit on this ledge.
Stare down into the puddles lie.
You will see your reflection.
Lean forward and put your arms out,
starry eyed, cucumber brained slacks.
Believe the lie.
Young whores breast feeding babies.
Your mother's reflection.
And your father's will speak your own.
It always ends with a slime stained ****.
Enough........OK........where to now?
Where do we tell our new stories?
In this book? Careful.
Watch your eyes peel at this new site.
A new word.
A new struggle.
Feel your wrists tighten,
relax,
feeding a slippery image.
Listen to your heart thump into a continuous strain,
a slipped fix.
The whole story is overpriced,
an underpaid receptionist,
$6.50 an hour.
All for a superficial commercial.
Stick the next stride,
the next false pretense into a new grinder and wait.

Well, I don't pretend to understand it, though it's probably very obvious to some.
Interesting and thought provoking.
Great write,
