Maybe Creativity Makes Us Stupider

There's a desk,

beneath my hands,

that's made of a fake,

yellowish wood.

I feel the scratches,

like gouges in a bleeding heart.

It oozes the dark charcoal of pencils held by lazy,

dead minds.

There's tags,

and other graffiti,

that cover the sides of my palms with graphite.

The smell of lead dances into my nose,

and I can taste death in my mouth.

It's the death of life,

of intelligence,

of future.
