Orange Alert

Everyday is orange here
blinking blaring sneaking
round the corners of dawn
   	lights in eyes
 	countdowns
 	precision     numbered
 	printed and detained
 	wait for the next line
under scrutiny's eye
 	bags, breasts, pockets, beds
what infraction of living will someone be charged with
 	today?
