Photo Gallery #2: Portraiture

Working class Hero
——————————————————
He died that year on the toilet seat,
Boxer shorts sporting the company logo
Lay low strangling feet.
His head was slumped in some kind of dream
To auto-erotisize.
There was nothing left of his mouth
Except what seemed to be a scream
Though, his eyes echoed
The cry of a child,
Expressing a helpless loathing for life:
Put me back in the womb, they said.
