the most contraversial thing I’ve ever written, ha ha
they infected our minds one by one
i must be careful, i can’t get caught
wash my hands, watch the clock
wear a mask
don’t connect, we forget
when we can’t read faces,
the expression of the lips, the moth there is nothing, because we don’t look in eyes, haven’t done for a while
this is denial
of our human self
we are becoming robots, we are becoming self
digital age
we are in the age of the internet
the digital explosion
social media storm
we can all relate
to wifi free zones
cellphone pocket crutch doesn’t mean much
cuz its filter and mask
busy and task
endless projections
light filled deflections
getting way from what’s real
so you no longer know how you feel
endless projections
mindless inspections
binge watching netflix
skipping dinner late night snacks
playing over and over tracks
redefining pin boards
and income brackets
crossover hacks
niche follow backs
pushing to suceed
endless want and need
none of this is possible without satelites
without electricity
without skylights
and has beens
jealously and annoyance
silicone boyance
giffs and tiffs
public riffs
platform
and coding
surfing
and floating
google always knows
facebook always shows
celebrity culture
all your wishes and hopes
causes and copes
algorithm slopes
redeem your self worth
because sometimes
even Instagram hurts
trying to let you know that you should do other things.
lied to their faces
we don’t know how
but there is
a place
as dirty as that
we don’t know how
we have contributed
to make it so
we have given a directive
from the holo deck
we are hollow
like trees
connected
by more than a breeze
a common earth
a land
a just desert
a flooded valley
forgotten stream
tear drop
in an ocean
of this shirt must be clean
so try as we might
to make ourselves seem
we are not pure
we are not clean
we carry the degradation
every day on the inside
we go to the beautiful places
who no longer hide
their scars and their sorrows
their devastation
so lied
to their faces
too tried
to their cries.
we live on the edge
of the contamination zone
decontamination zone
we live in the zone
we zone out in the no man’s zone
we are alone
together
wearing wool sweaters
our pinup primeminister makes proclaimation
culturally appropriating arts and letters
a step ahead of the tsunami,
the tide is coming in
the moon waning
as the cheshire grins
he wins!
scored
last night
way outta sight
might do all right
if we just stay in

i conspire with retired addicts to place limits on restricts,
the pharmaceutical industry of pain points
to where i’ve been but not where i’m going
i envisioned a life different than this
one with responsibility to make this shift,
i thought we’d be on to it,
by now,
reaping what we’d sown,
well, perhaps, it’s almost grown,
and those of us with jobs,
who are no slobs
those of us who’ve stayed engaged,
possibly out of rage,
at this stage,
i realize i’ve been silly
a fool for love, yet,
out of wanting to own and possess it
actually i wasn’t in a hurry
i have all night and all winter too
to hole up in a little apartment with you
volunteer the hell outta political activism
snuggle in warm slippers and knit our anxiety into things
penetrating new levels of sure things,
one sure thing, i’ll be re-learning how to sing
humming and strumming and being at whim
let me know if you’re in…
translucent agendas,
no mo’ pretendas
we hesitate to break space,
what more time erase,
face case the place that can’t erase,
cheapskate concrete lock stock cock
from the man made rock burial ground
all of it sacred
pretext made it
juice the ruse of the slow to deduce
while I place the a-nihilists
so sought to fought in the field
of dreams of chocolate bars and ice creams
thought I’d ate the hate of never to late
cause you protect the undermined face
haste it late its late its late, no trace no face no haste
the cars and the drivers can’t become one another
still their channelled to direct the ultimate form of disrespect
and party with the hearty we are one we have become
we have become who we were always from
I am in love I am love I am I am I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I
we don’t know we will grow we are united we can fight it we can fight it we can!
This is for you if you are true this is what we have to do we have too we have too Love at all costs Love at all costs….. take a break and escape the hate take a break to escape the hate… Love thy self my self and you whatever you want me too I want too too too two two to to to to tu tu tu….
