Portrait of an American Arsonist

Man at bus stop

Uncombed hair

Loose-fitting jacket

Longing eyes

Nervous tick

Tortured mind

Long sleeves

Cheap lighter

Hidden scars

Alcohol and anger

Cigarettes and benzene

Two weeks notice

Empty apartment

Empty wallet

Passing busses

Passing faces

A single incident

A misunderstanding

A hard day

A fire lit in a workroom stall

A concerned report

A single report...

Bum

Loser

Freak

Scapegoat

Monster

Another bottle shattered

Another cigarette lit

A suitcase filled by morning

Yet somehow still empty

Another town

Another place

Another try

A man returning to a bus stop

One way ticket to nowhere

Long sleeves

Cheap lighter

Hidden scars

Alcohol and anger

CigarettesĀ and benzene
