 Grand Theft Auto Monstrosity

Glassed over, unblinking
to the furious light.
The rainbow blood flashing
across the television
screens of his eyes.

This nine year old,fingers
cramped into a constellation.
Grappling a controller
against his undeveloped chest.

Eyes opened wide, each finger
in contact with
what is torn: dodging bullets
in the pixilated air
of a 27” screen.

The length of a health bar
becomes his ultimate tragedy.
He virtually smashes mailboxes,
grabs prostitutes,

puts them in trunks of cars.
Slashes torsos with bullets
from 9mm glocks;
everyone writhing.

All pixels wound continually
in the pupils of his eyes,
like azalea blossoms stirring.
